Combining the diverse styles and sounds of contemporary percussion with catchy pop melodies, driving beats and bass lines, soaring vocals and ‘orchestral’ electronic sound-scapes, Moth is a world of sound unlike any you’ve heard before.
Moth / Artistic overview
Moth performers are all award winning musicians, who have collectively worked with an amazingly diverse list of stars from Australia and overseas. The instrumentation comprises vibraphone, marimba, piano, drums, bass, keyboards and squidstrument (proprietary controller for electronica - rather like a big light table with moving marine-life chess pieces). Challenging the ‘classical’ music experience, Moth has a wider appreciation potential, incorporating technology and stylistic influences from dance and pop music.

Moth is the latest project of Synergy Percussion, the newest phase of a journey that began 35 years ago. The musicians of Moth and Synergy have performed at festivals throughout Europe, Asia and the United States, as well as some of Australia’s premier recital and performance venues. Moth has the capacity to perform on world music stages, contemporary/experimental art venues, pop/rock concerts and festivals, as well as the more traditional opera and recital stages. Formed in January 2009, the group has amassed several festival performances and radio play.
