Gian Slater

Gian Slater the rarest of singers – a complete musician and true virtuoso, whose mastery of her instrument is in total service to a powerful emotional immediacy in her music. She possesses a highly mobile and accurate voice with an uncommon improvisational ability, and the harmonic and technical awareness and clarity of intention more commonly associated with instrumentalists.As a composer and band leader Gian has recorded 3 CDs, the chamber/song cycle "In My Head" 2005, 2007's rock/pop EP "Our Galaxy", and "Creatures at the Crossroads" - a duo collaboration with the deeply gifted pianist Will Poskitt, completed in October 2008. This remarkable collaboration was the final recording Will made before his tragic passing in November 08, and will be released in 2009.Some other recent projects include Gian's ongoing collaboration with Lior, Andrea Keller, Geoff Hughes Collective and the New York based Josh Roseman and Barney McAll's SYLENT RUNNING.Gian lectures in Aural Studies and Voice at all three of Melbourne's major improvised music universities, the Victorian College of the Arts, Monash University and NMIT. div class="
