BUT the big news is that Masonik came to the Sound Quality studio (well, the ABC's live music studio really) and recorded a great big piece. You can download it just below. It is a really moody and evocative piece, listen to the program and grab the audio. Bass, turntable and electronics - Basil Psanoudakis; Sax - Paul 'Pax' Andrews; Keys - Wheldon Thornley.

The Michael Cacoyannis Foundation presents on Wednesday 15 January 2014, at 21:30, the interdisciplinary music and visual arts event “Altar’d Lament”, by the Australian ensemble “Masonik” in cooperation with the lyrical singer Georgina Balabini and the visual artist Mario Fournaris.
Altar’d Lament is a unique cross collaboration between Greek & Australian musicians & artists. It directly references the underworld music of Rebetika & Amane and draws a representational arc between a lost music and the potential of creativity through ritual. The critical historical inauguration for the project is the fires of Smyrna in 1922. Through these flames, terrible loss of life & human dislocation; out of the horror of destruction, there echoes reaching out, the desire to create. Altar’d Lament points to tradition & summons not only the musicians but the voices of those millions who suffered through the fires of dispossession; to form an imagined sacred space;
