Paul Todd
Paul Todd's bass, B flat and E flat clarinets cut through re-sound's contemporary chamber music, where acoustic lines meet computer processing, night-club energy and new Australian scores.
As a performer-composer in the Melbourne group he helps drive programmes that set clarinet colour beside processed drums, site samples and open form. On Quiet on the Bridge he co-wrote Desert Factory and plays across electro-acoustic hybrids, chamber textures and interactive computer works built for mindful listening rather than easy comfort.
Performing as re-sound
re-sound has established itself as one of Australia's most progressive contemporary music ensembles. Its thought-provoking, challenging and dynamic performances explore the sounds of our time across a wide range of genres, styles, and performance contexts.
Quiet on the Bridge
Like the group's earlier releases, this disc ranges across electronic and electro-acoustic music, contemporary chamber writing, interactive computer pieces, open indeterminate works and improvisation.
Composer
Ephemeral Densities
ephemeral densities is re-sound's third CD, devoted to new Australian work by members Steve Adam, Melanie Chilianis, Paul Moulatlet and Thomas Reiner. It brings together contemporary chamber writing, computer music and popular electronic idioms.

Conversations
The recording of Conversations is an outcome of a research project at Monash University’s School of Music. Six composers worked with performers to shape this electro-acoustic piece, joining team-based composition, contemporary performance practice, and music technology.
Hard Chamber
A retrospective of chamber works by Melbourne contemporary composer Thomas Reiner, written for varied small forces. Soloists from Monash University and ensemble re-sound present music that asks for close, unconditioned listening.
