8pm Wayfinders
is a project conceived by Melbourne drummer/composer Ronny Ferella as an improvising trio with Jon Hunt (woodwinds) and Tom Lee (double bass) that allows all of the player’s musical experiences to influence the music at hand. The name Wayfinders was inspired by the Wade Davis, Massey Lecture series, Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World. Completely acoustic and committed to an improvising ethos, the group leans to the ritual of ceremonial music, where everyone involved has the opportunity to experience something completely personal and unique, yet share the experience with all.
