Clocked Out

Clocked Out is a dynamic Australian experimental music duo formed by husband-and-wife team Vanessa Tomlinson (percussionist) and Erik Griswold (pianist/composer). Since emerging in the late 1990s, these Brisbane-based artists have become known for their playful boundary-pushing work that blends avant-garde composition, improvisation, and unexpected sounds – often using prepared pianos, found objects, and inventive percussion setups. Their recent releases like *Time Crystals*, *Foreign Objects*, and *The Wide Alley* showcase their fascination with unconventional timbres and conceptual themes, continuing their tradition of collaborating with scientists, visual artists, and musicians across genres. Beyond recordings, they're celebrated for immersive live performances and projects like their "Piano Mill" installations, proving experimental music can be both brainy and wildly entertaining.
