Clear Path Ensemble is the sonic project of Wellington artist Cory Champion, emerging from the pulse of the local jazz underground. Moving between experimental jazz, electronics, and psychedelic textures, the music unfolds as a fluid, exploratory sound world.

This intimate playback session offers a first encounter with Ascending — a new body of work shaped by rhythm, space, and improvisation—accompanied by a live, improvised response from Daniel Hayles, Riki Pirihi, and Cory Champion.

Time: Doors 6:30pm | Ascending playback 7:00pm
Entry: Free | Limited Capacity

Note: This is a pre-release listening event, not a full live performance by Clear Path Ensemble.
