Alister Spence has been playing the Fender Rhodes electric piano since the 1970s. In recent years he has been exploring its sonic potential more broadly with bands such as Sensaround (with Sia Ahmad and Raymond MacDonald) and Kira Kira (with Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura) —who toured Australia, performing at Johnston Street Jazz for Sydney Women’s International Jazz Festival 2024. Within Without is Spence’s debut album for solo Fender Rhodes. It was released on Lawrence English’s Room40 Label on 31st October.
‘The album opens up the famous and yet somehow mysterious Rhodes … and finds an orchestra inside.’ Derek Walmsely, The WIRE
‘The Fender inches toward warped generator territory’ Peter Margasak, Nowhere Street
Also on the bill is composer and performer Alexandra Spence.

Her aesthetic favours field recordings, analogue technologies and object interventions, reimagining the intricate relationships between the listener, the object, and the surrounding environment as a kind of communion or conversation.
