“Sun Most South” is born of the fertile creativity of Andrea Keeble (violin) and Anthony Schulz (piano accordion). Reimagining classical repertoire by De Falla, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, they weave improvisations and original compositions into an intimate duet collaboration.
In an artistic vein so often traversed, through which opposites attract, “Sun Most South” explore the exquisite tension that exists in-between; where musical worlds collide and ignite. What Andrea Keeble (violin) and Anthony Schulz (piano accordion) bring to Manuel DeFalla’s El Amor Brujo’; Love the Magician, a passionate expose’ of love conquering evil, and Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata, to Stravinsky, Dilermando Ries and their own works is the nexus between the ancient and new. “Sun Most South” is born of the fertile creative entities Cosmo Cosmolino, Zulya and the Children of the Underground and much more.

Andrea Keeble’s latest album, Congratulations, will be performed by Ad Hoc Music Collective on Saturday 9th December at the Church of All Nations, 180 Palmerston St. Carlton at 7.30 pm.
Tickets $30/$20 at the door or available here
Ad Hoc Music Collective:
Andrea Keeble and Edwina Kayser: violins

Ronny Ferella: drum kit and percussion
Dan Witton: voice
Andrea Keeble’s latest album, Congratulations, reflects her distinct body of composition and musicianship for the last two decades in Australia’s classical, jazz, gypsy and avant-garde music scenes. Two beautifully arranged songs, with gorgeous, fluid vocals by Dan Witton, bookend the recording. The tracks in-between explore string, jazz, improvisation and experimental ground – from cabaret to gypsy folk to classical and back again.
Andrea is an accomplished string player, and her understanding of the instrument and willingness to push it into new roles and spaces permeates the album. The stylistic range is impressive, with tracks that seem almost wholly experimental suddenly branching into classical ostinatos, gentle lyrics and accessible chord progressions.
The title and title track, far from being self-congratulatory, play on the courage of breaking down old habits. Each composition, as it moves through new, engaging and often haunting space, creates an impression of positive change. If you like eclectic music, you’ll love Congratulations, with its atmospheric flavours of Keeble’s long-term membership with Cosmo Cosmolino, and influences of straight jazz, classical Bartók strings and even Iceland’s Sigur Rós.
