Peter Farrar is a Sydney-based saxophonist known for his work in improvisational and experimental music. He has been involved with several avant-garde ensembles and is recognized for his innovative approach to the saxophone.

"Sydney-based pianist, Novak Manojlovic first began playing piano at age eight. He went on to study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music from 2012-2016 where he honed his craft as an improviser and composer, studying under pianists Mike Nock and Matt McMahon (Freedman Jazz Fellow 2005). Novak has led his own diverse projects and collaborated extensively in the pop music scene, acting as a musical director, arranger and touring musician for Ngaiire, Sampa the Great, Wallace and Martha Marlow. Novak has been quickly gaining recognition for his expressive approach, and since finishing his studies has been composing and performing with his subversive piano trio 'HEKKA', electro-acoustic outfit Colourfields and his large ensemble Grown Ocean throughout Australia."

"Double Bassist Clayton Thomas was born 1976, in Hobart, Australia. Inspired by the sound, velocity and social movements of jazz, Clayton has dedicated his musical life to finding a personal truth that links his own cultural life as a white Australian, with the radical, far reaching pursuits found within the creative music. What he can't find as a bass player, he searches for in the organisation of unreasonably large ensembles.

Clayton Thomas relocated in Sydney, Australia, in 2014. Clayton is currently not a regular member of the Splitter Orchester, but he was part of the 2014 concert @ MaerzMusik and he'll also take part in the 2015 concerts in Berlin and Huddersfield."

"Laurence Pike is a prolific drummer/composer/producer and one Australia's most respected creative musicians. He has released solo albums to critical acclaim and toured the world with his bands PVT (formerly Pivot), Triosk, Szun Waves and as a member of US/Aus savant-punk group LIARS.

Pike's work explores the language of improvisation within disciplines, with an emphasis on listening, presence, and human experience through real time composition, drawing on a musical value system developed over two decades.

Equally at home in the worlds of rock, electronics, jazz and improvised music, he continues to work with his internationally acclaimed group and Warp Records alumni PVT, which has performed with the likes of Sigur Rós, Arctic Monkeys and Yellow Magic Orchestra. 2016 saw the release of Szun Waves' debut album, At Sacred Walls, a collaboration with Luke Abbott on modular synthesiser and Portico Quartet's Jack Wyllie on saxophone. It was followed by New Hymn To Freedom in 2018 and Earth Patterns in 2022.

Pike's debut solo album was also released in 2018; originally conceived as a technological and spiritual jazz suite for drums, Distant Early Warning is a series of solo performances for kit and sampler recorded live in a single day. It was followed in 2019 by the acclaimed Holy Spring, which was thematically inspired by the pagan fertility myths of Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring. Prophecy (2020) was created during the height of Australia's recent catastrophic fires, with the music channelling the moment through Pike's singular, organic use of electronics, and intuitively constructed arrangements.

2024 sees the realisation of his most ambitious solo project yet. The Undreamt-of Centre is an evocative, contemporary reimagining of the requiem mass. The album draws on the sounds of modern classical music, Japanese environmental ambient music, fourth world electronics, free jazz and the choral traditions of Estonia. Featuring the VOX Sydney Philharmonia Choir, conducted by Pike's childhood friend, composer Sam Lipman, the album was recorded in a 19th century Gothic church in Sydney.

Pike has produced and performed two acclaimed duo albums with legendary jazz pianist Mike Nock, is a member of Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders, records with award winning Australian singer/songwriter Sarah Blasko, and 4AD recording artist D.D Dumbo, and has collaborated with artists as diverse as Bill Callahan, Jan Jelinek, Charles Bullen (This Heat), Daniel Johns (Silverchair) and ECM recording artist Kit Downes."
