Clocked Out, a long-running Brisbane duo formed by Vanessa Tomlinson (percussion) and Erik Griswold (piano), has earned a reputation for warped grooves, interdisciplinary performances, and a fearless approach to sound. Their work blends experimental minimalism with jazz-influenced improvisation, using prepared piano, percussion, and found objects to create immersive sonic landscapes. As a cornerstone of Australian experimental music, Clocked Out has held Ensemble in Residence at the Queensland Conservatorium (2008–2020) and has been recognized with APRA AMCOS Art Music Awards for Excellence in Experimental Music and Excellence by an Organisation, among other accolades.
