MAGNIFY by MAGNIFY

MAGNIFY is a creative endeavour from Melbourne saxophonist Flora Carbo inspired by friendship, trust and the intersection between acoustic and electronic sound.

The project sees the amplification of the ‘Flora Carbo Trio’ (Maddison Carter on drums and Isaac Gunnoo on bass) with the addition of Eitan Ritz (modular synthesiser) who manipulates and process sounds live. Exploring the intersection between acoustic and electronic, Flora’s compositions are inspired by Sidney Bechet, Ornette Coleman and Arthur Russell.

This music was developed over 2021 as part of the Emergence Residency at Uptown Jazz Cafe supported by the Victorian government through Creative Victoria.

This music was created, performed and recorded on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respects to elders past, present and future and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Flora Carbo is a saxophonist, composer and music leader from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia). Her unique practice creates novel musical environments that connect people through improvisation, composition and conceptual works, led by her explorations into the vocal qualities of the alto saxophone.
