COSMIC DEBRIS
"Jazz, groove, improvisation..."
Hailing from the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. This 3 to 4 piece Jazz/Fusion outfit lends itself well to any situation where moody atmosphere is a must. Combining original arrangements of traditional jazz standards, improvisation and original compositions from Hawker and Giles, Cosmic Debris is met with widespread appeal and enjoyment.
The recordings presented herein are designed with the idea to capture the magic of the moment, commonly found in old jazz recordings from the 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. Multi-takes are mostly unheard of, and only occasionally will the band vary from using one or two ambient microphones in the studio to capture the jazz feel.
Cosmic Debris are available for hire at competitive rates for bars, taverns, bistros, parties, functions, events (you get the idea).
A number of the recordings feature drummer Beau Karnaghan (Supremacy) on them, and although he is no longer with us, we appreciate and value all the contribution he has made.
Simon Hawker has been playing guitar since he was about 7 years old. Has played in a number of bands over the years, local names include. John Hawker Big Band, The Lounge Machine. Samples of his solo work can be found at his myspace. Simon has been teaching guitar for over 8 years and his contribution and experience is very welcome within Cosmic Debris.
Vincent Giles has been playing music since he was old enough to hold an instrument. He started with vocal work, piano and keyboard work throughout his younger years in Primary School. Becoming attached to the bass guitar (via a brief tenure with a regular guitar), things have escalated over the last 8 years, and has been teaching bass guitar for the last 2 years. Previously involved with The Lounge Machine, Innate Desire, Jebusfish, Sounds of Ellipsis and various smaller projects, his unique approach to the bass guitar is a valuable contribution to the band. Visit him on myspace to hear his more experimental solo work
Boris Suh says he has been playing guitar "for too long". Starting at around the age of 13, Boris's bluesy soulful feel, with prior involvement with The Lounge Machine (and many other bands that I can't think of right now), and an ex-student of Simon's. Boris contributes an incredible amount of soulful playing to the music.
Ivan Tesevic, the all swinging, all grooving drummer extroadinaire brings influences and experiences as wide as we've ever seen. From Afro-cuban beats, Latin jazz, Argentinian folk music and tango, not to mention contemporary pop/rock and traditional swing!
Ivan adds a new dimension to Cosmic Debris and we're proud to have him board.
