Aura

Following on from their critically acclaimed debut, self titled release, Melbourne jazz quartet Aura are excited to release their second full length offering “Same Sky.”

Recorded in Melbourne in late 2022, "Same Sky," features 7 new compositions written specifically for this ensemble.

2023 has seen each individual member of the ensemble's stars rise in the local music scene as they have individually become increasingly sought-after by many local music luminaries as collaborators.

Taking the rare opportunity whilst they were all in Melbourne, “Same Sky” was recorded in one day at Audrey Studios in Brunswick within a limited window of time before Powne, Carbo and Svoboda each embarked on separate international tours and artist residencies for most of 2023.

Aura

'Aura' a quartet of 4 female jazz musicians, each an emerging name in Australian Jazz and Improvised Music present their debut recording as an ensemble.

The ensemble - consisting of Trumpeter Audrey Powne, alto saxophonist Flora Carbo, bassist Helen Svoboda and drummer Kyrie Anderson, met serendipitously in 2019 while attending the Banff Centre's renowned Workshop in Jazz and Improvised music directed by masterful improvising musicians and composers Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey.

Amidst the velocity of the workshop experience and the formations of their friendship and musical relationship the quartet found a window of a few hours to record in the Telus Recording Studio at the Banff Centre studio with acclaimed Engineer Todd Whitlock resulting in their debut, self titled album together “Aura."

Hwyl

“Literally the word for boat sail, hwyl is a wonderfully onomatopoeic Welsh word (pronounced who-eel) that means exuberance or excitement, as if clipping along on a gust of wind. Used to describe flashes of inspiration, a singer's gusto or raised spirits at parties, hwyl is also the word for goodbye:
Hwyl fawr - Go with the wind in your sails.”
‘The book of human emotions’. Tiffany Watt Smith, An encyclopedia of feeling from anger to wanderlust. (Little Brown Spark, 2016) p.146

In December 2019, we (Kyrie, Bonnie and Dave) hopped into the wonderful Wizard Tone studios to record some great standards that we’ve enjoyed playing together over the years.
After laying down some tracks, we spent the last hour of the day just playing and exploring the world of improvisation. Each of these songs were composed on the spot.
