TSC II
Our new album 'TSC II' was recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, on the 1st and 2nd of November, 2011. Having refined our sound considerably since recording our self-titled debut album in March 2010, our subsequent compositions have been both guided and liberated by what we now know we can collectively achieve. Our first year of composing, touring and recording together was the most intense period of musical growth we have ever experienced, a development which we feel is reflected in our second round of compositions presented on this album. Each piece was recorded 'live' in one take, with no edits or overdubs, a fact we are proud of! Thanks again to our engineer Mischa Herman, who worked with us to capture a more intimate and dynamic aesthetic.
Track listing:
1. Chorizo y Queso (Holly Downes); 2. Home By Another Way (Chris Stone); 3. Old Time (Holly Downes); 4. Great Ocean Road (Graham McLeod); 5. West of West (Chris Stone); 6. Sawdust (Graham McLeod); 7–9. Suite for Summer Movements I, II & III (Chris Stone); 10. Opuscule (Holly Downes)

TSC Live
'TSC Live' was recorded and mixed live by Mischa Herman at the Toff in Town, Melbourne, on the 6th of February 2011. This EP features the first recordings of Graham's composition 'Great Ocean Road' and 'Pictsie' by Chris, plus live versions of 'King Offa' and 'Dialogic' off our first album. We had a great crowd on the night, and there is nothing quite like a live concert to get the energy pumping!

Total Time – 21:32
The String Contingent
Our self titled debut album 'The String Contingent' was recorded in St. Mark's Church in Melbourne, on the 4th and 5th of March 2010. Each track was recorded 'live' in one take, with no edits or overdubs, only three months after Graham arrived in Australia for the first time. Our first collection of compositions was highly collaborative and experimental, as we began to explore the possibilities of our new trio. This music was captured in the fantastic acoustics of the church by engineer Mischa Herman.
Track Listing:
1. King Offa (Chris Stone);
2. Dialogic (Holly Downes & Chris Stone);
3. Lucy's Boogie (Chris Stone);
4. Good Grief (Chris Stone);
