The Clunk Orchestra, The Sound it Makes Review

Bringing us sounds from down under, the Melbourne Australia based quartet that call themselves, The Clunk Orchestra have released their debut album titled, The Sound It Makes. The members are: Ron Anderson on tenor, alto, soprano saxophone, Geoff Spooner on guitar, Ben Harmsen on bass, and Marek Podstawek on drums and percussion. “The name of this band is The Clunk Orchestra because that’s the sound it makes in front of an audience,” is saxophonist Anderson’s explanation and that is also the inspiration for the title of the album, The Sound It Makes. The Clunk Orchestra performs eight original instrumental tracks that have a wide range of feels, tempos and styles and all performed live in the studio on this recording for that high energy group sound. Their music is fun to listen to and one can easily feel the energy and joy that the four have together, which transmits to the music. An awesome fusion of jazz/rock/funk and good feelings, that’s the short of it!
