About

Laura Altman is based in Sydney on Gadigal and Wangal Country, where she has woven her way through the improvised, exploratory and folk music scenes with her intuitive clarinet playing, free improvising and compositions. She is a long-standing member of many varied ensembles, including improvising collective Splinter Orchestra, and internationally acclaimed trio Great Waitress alongside Monica Brooks and Magda Mayas. In more recent years Laura has ventured into a solo improvisation practice that involves her unique approach to the clarinet underpinned by a curiosity with resonance and feedback. She has also been writing songs with voice and guitar that are beginning to find their way into the world. Laura co-hosts Listening Space on Eastside Radio 89.7FM, and helps run the online exploratory music directory and newsletter emus.space.
