Microfiche Band

Microfiche is a Sydney-based musical collective featuring six of Australia’s most daring improvisers. From ‘miniatures’ less than a minute long through to extended durational works, Microfiche’s music explores the detailed and surprising minutiae of sound.
Microfiche formed in 2015 as a group of like-minded friends coming together for exploratory weekly rehearsals. These formative sessions were a place of freedom and experimentation, leaving no aesthetic stone unturned. Influenced by the musical philosophies of John Cage and Morton Feldman, the group quickly developed a unique approach to music-making featuring spaces of meditative stillness, soundscapes and evolving loops that collide with strong rhythmic outbursts and melodic catharsis.
Live performance highlights have included appearances at Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival, Wollongong’s Speak Satellite Festival and the NOWnow Series.
