Mind On Fire is a Sydney-based project formed by brothers Brad and Sam Gill. Since forming in 2017, they have developed a unique approach to blending improvisation and experimental composition, amassing a substantial body of work for duo and expanded formations with esteemed collaborating performers.

For this gig, they’ll be joined by clarinettist and 2023 Freedman Jazz Fellow Phillippa Murphy-Haste for two sets of composed and improvised pieces. This will be their third performance in this trio format, having initially formed to record four tracks from Mind On Fire’s 2020 release “Still, vol. 1: duo & trio music”.

Since forming in 2017, Mind On Fire have released three albums and an EP of original compositions and improvisations, including their most recent release “Still, Vol. 2” (Radial Sounds, 2022). They also recorded a performance for Phoenix Central Park’s video series that was released in 2020.
