Love these guys so much! Playing with @chiron.musi Love these guys so much! Playing with @chiron.music is always a huge pleasure, and each jam comes with a high that lasts for many days afterwards. Really looking forward to this first gig on 13th June 💥. #darkwavemusic #gothicmusic #avantgardemusic #melbournemusic
A selection of pics from Shadow Resonance, 9th May A selection of pics from Shadow Resonance, 9th May 2026 at @clubvoltairemelb. We had such a lovely time performing with @beyondthelake_, and my huge appreciation goes to @eshtrick, @b.w.henriques / @b.henriquesmusic & Ben Smith for driving Minorarc to be something different, and being the best of friends to stand beside during both creative and stressful moments ❤️, like playing live after a 12 year break at a sold out show 🤣. Selection of photos shot by us, the wonderful @kyzaphotography, @bakaitis_films and Wolfgang Donohue. From here it is back to rehearsals and writing new material for us. Thank you everyone who came along, and all the supporters over the years who have kept this project alive. 💥Youtube video of Minorarc's "Slowlight" for this show is at: https://bit.ly/Slowlight or https://www.youtube.com/@minorarc #livemusicmelbourne #cello #violin #az2204bbk #electriccello #ambientmusic #experimentalmusic

A rehearsal and recording session from 2024, with A rehearsal and recording session from 2024, with the relaxed, inspiring and creative souls @b.w.henriques Brendan Henriques & Eric Shek. After years of largely making music alone, it has really been something to share, re-flavor and arrange pieces with such talented and open-minded friends. Every time we play there is something a little different and unexpected. Thrilled to be able to perform with these guys next month in our first concert since the Minorarc solo/duo era of 2010-2015. It has been a lot work to deconstruct the pieces, chase tones, ditch the computer, and now with arthritis challenging and testing these fingers, it is time to make the most of the present... while I'm still young 😅 Our recordings are currently off being mixed and mastered at @ernie_os_urban_fringe_compound, but chances are there will be a release with the three of us on it later this year, all recorded live as a trio in Melbourne's West. 🎵 Come and support these guys at their first Minorarc show with @beyondthelake_ Sat 9th May at @clubvoltairemelb 7.15pm Tickets: https://www.trybooking.com/DKQJE #experimentalmusic #melbournemusic #ambientmusic #neoclassical #cinematicdjent

Hi Friends! It is true, for the last few years I'v Hi Friends! It is true, for the last few years I've had the pleasure of recording guitars for Chiron on the side. Their new album comes out this year (hopefully soon), so at the moment lots of rehearsals are underway for live stuff. Really love working with Michael Aliani and Dino! They're such peaceful and chilled folks. Give the project a follow (we'd be super grateful) if you're interested in dark wave / avant-garde with touches of modern metal here and there 🙂. @chiron.music https://www.facebook.com/chirongothic https://www.chironmusic.com.au Has this impacted on Minorarc's progress? Well... sort of. But the Minorarc trio has 6 tracks ready for final mixing, and some new pieces cooking too. 2026 is looking good. Got to do this stuff while you're still young 😅. PS: If there are any Melbourne dark-friendly bands out there interested in gigging with us, get in touch! #darkwave #gothic #australianmusic #rgr752ahbf
