Driftwood ‘Maps’ ~ releasing on Room 40
A note from Aviva Endean
Grounded in the unique instrumentation of two microtonally re-tuned pump organs, alongside clarinets and guitars, the sonic landscape of Driftwood has become a welcoming place for us to inhabit together. The distinctive characteristics of these instruments, as well as the challenge of playing multiple instruments simultaneously, have become a frame we’ve leaned into more and more, trusting the vitality of their combined resonance to lead us further into uncharted paths of improvisation.
Sometimes the pieces hint toward song-like forms, with repetitive guitar ostinatos lulling the music to the edge of familiarity, while other times the drones and harmonies blur, creating the ground from which glimpses of folk-like melodies surface, as if from a long-forgotten dream.

Bhairavi Raman + Nanthesh Sivarajah
Bhairavi Raman is a versatile Indian-Australian violinist, extensively trained in Western Classical and Carnatic forms. She is joined by Nanthesh Sivarajah, a skilled mridangam player and percussionist.
Both artists share a Tamil heritage, and their playing folds history, lineage, and experimentation into music that acknowledges inheritance while gently rewiring its circuitry.
