Steve Barry | piano
Judy Bailey | piano

Recorded live in a one-set entirely improvised concert at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in August 2018, Elements encapsulates the empathetic creative spirit of a longstanding musical partnership between two of Australasia’s most fearless and adventurous musicians.

Steve Barry and Judy Bailey gave their first performance of improvisations for two pianos in 2011, following Barry’s undergraduate studies with Bailey in the Conservatorium jazz program. Their annual concerts led to the development of a unique improvisational telepathy between the two musicians, not only in terms of the moment-to-moment musical choices they make, but also the broader structural coherence of the musical arcs of each set they perform.

Originally conceived as a reflection of the five ancient Eastern elements (in Japanese philosophy, earth, water, fire, wind and void), the music paints a vivid, mystical picture full of cheeky Goblin dances, explosive volcanic activity, poignant meditations, and references to Māori mythology and the Māori god of shimmering air that speaks to Judy and Steve’s shared New Zealand heritage.
