Apple Septet + BÊNG

  • 303 303 High Street Northcote, VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

On Friday the 9th Feb, Spencer will be unveiling the Apple Septet new approach in this monumental debut as he leaves behind the Appleman persona, stepping into a new chapter for the old music of Appleman's songs.
The Apple septet is:

Matt Milsom - Drums
Alfie Pleasance - Congas
Jim Adams - Keys2
Flynn Sky-McCormick - Guitar
Wilsen Conn - Bass
Spencer Hughes - Keys/Vocal
Tyla Moonchild - Vocals

Spencer Hughes' approach to composition is informed by his visual artwork delving into film, photography, and painting. Having drawn from other personal aliases such as Corduroy Boy and 10-piece group Chicken Wishbone, his roots have early been laid in hip-hop/jazz styles which evolved towards afro-cuban dance styles. Most recently, he has released an array of jazz electronic EP’s delving into solo production and short film as Appleman.

BÊNG have been painting their elusive sonic textures around Melbourne for 6+ years, taking inspiration from spiritual jazz, krautrock, experimental rock and all worlds of music to create raw and expressive music with motifs and improvisation.
