Π (Pi) was formed as a collaboration between Sydney-based composer/performers Jon Drummond and John Encarnacao in 1997. Using digital and analogue synthesis, the duo’s live practice is improvisatory, while their studio work takes recordings of these improvisations as the basis for further sonic playfulness. Their approach and palette are informed by a wide range of artists, from early Severed Heads, Autechre and Oval, to Stockhausen, Xennakis and Jonty Harrison. The first Π album, Irrational, was released on vinyl only in 1999 on Psychopyjama; the second, Secret Robot Business was completed in 2002, but has yet to be released.
