Jim Denley
Jim Denley is an Australian improviser on wind instruments and electronics, born in 1957 in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Much of his work is site-specific, and several of his recordings were made outdoors, among them sessions in the Budawang Mountains. His radio work Collaborations, made for the ABC, won the Prix Italia in 1989. Denley played with Jon Rose in the Relative Band, formed Embers with John Butcher and co-founded the text and music group Machine for Making Sense with Amanda Stewart, Chris Mann and Rik Rue.
