"North of North is an Australian trio featuring Anthony Pateras (piano), Scott Tinkler (trumpet) and Erkki Veltheim (violin). Drawing from improvisation, Carnatic music, 20th and 21st century compositional strategies, mathematical theories and open forms of jazz, their music is fused together by virtuosic instrumentalism, critical listening and a shared philosophy of musical and physical discipline.
Their self-titled 2nd release was recorded in Melbourne's beautiful Church of All Nations, and is the first release on the new label _offcompass_, which was founded by the band in 2018. Aside from the band's collective projects, the label aims to release and promote under-represented contemporary music practices, traversing free improvisation, electro-acoustic music, art-song and hybrid forms of composition."-Off Compass
