The Antripodean Collective is an ever-changing group of the finest improvising musicians in Australia. The aim of this group is to explore improvised music from every angle and in every form, going beyond the boundaries of jazz. The musicians include Scott Tinkler, John Rodgers, Paul Grabowsky, Marc Hannaford, Ken Edie, Carl Dewhurst, Philip Rex and Simon Barker.

Scott Tinkler and Roger Richards, Director of Extreme Recordings, act as curators seeking to create situations that challenge the comfort zones of each musician in order for them to explore all possibilities. Each configuration creates differences, sparks a new dialogue and seeks out the collective spirit. The result is a music that reveals highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses, to reward the listener with its many moments of brilliance.
