Jess Green debuts a new project for Phoenix Central Park, bringing together her jazz ensemble writing (The Bright Sparks), and her art pop project (Pheno). Jess’s masters research has focussed on experimental practice techniques that draws upon human movement science, cognitive science and complexity theories. For this event Jess has composed a suite that takes the audience on a sensory journey pivoting from the edge of chaos to pop infused trance sates and moments of sublime sonic immersion. The interplay of wild guitar and playful complex drumming is interspersed with dreamy abstract vocals - exploded songs that leave trails of meaning and memory.

Joining Jess is drummer Jamie Cameron and bassist Brendan Clark. Audiences would know Jess through performances with Jess Green’s Bright Sparks, The Catholics, Katie Noonan, Ronny Ferrella, Alyx Dennison and Bree van Reyk, and currently Jess plays with the Laura Jean band. Jess’s composition work has seen her collaborate with art luminaries such as Patricia Piccinini and Nell, as well as work in theatre and chamber music.
