MINORARC

Minorarc is a dark classical and cinematic progressive metal project by Ivan Bullock. For over 20 years, he has been an active recording artist and promoter for Australian arts and experimental / underground music. A classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist, his modern musical journey began in Tokyo during the early 2000’s, before returning to Australia and establishing Minorarc.
To translate the project’s most recent pieces for live performance, he has joined forces with violinist Eric Shek, bassist Brendan Henriques, and long-term friend and collaborator, Ben Smith.
Eric has a history performing for university and community orchestras, and has even travelled overseas for a crash course in Irish fiddle, as well as playing for Melbourne punk rock band We Were Voyagers. He joins Minorarc to fuse his classical roots with the project’s heavier experimental nature.
Brendan is a music teacher, respected session musician, and established performer who often tours with numerous tribute bands. Alongside roots in gospel music, he records and delves into an array of genres including funk, soul, jazz and beyond.
Ben Smith has performed with Ivan many times over the years, including for his own Sleeplab project, which crafts electro industrial rock, pop, and many varieties of layered interference.
