Angus Tarnawsky is an Australian musician based in Brooklyn, New York. He was awarded a Bachelor of Music Performance (Honours) from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2009. That same year, he received the Dr. Phillip Law Music Scholarship and Foote Trust Travelling Scholarship from the University of Melbourne for his research into hybrid instrument design[1] which facilitated a relocation from Melbourne to NYC in 2010.[2] At this time, he joined the motorik influenced rock band, Apache Beat.[3]

He currently performs and produces material with his group Flowers of Evil[4] alongside producing solo electronic works under his own name.[5] In 2014, his debut EP was released by the Berlin-based record label Inner Surface Music.[6] Recently completed work includes the long distance project "Artifacts" with pianist Nathan Liow for the Melbourne Next Wave Festival[7] and "Surface To Air" with Ukrainian/Australian artist, Stanislava Pinchuk.[8] Other frequent collaborators include drummer Brian Chase,[9] saxophonist Sam Hillmer[10] and pianist Richard Bennett.[11]

As a session drummer he has toured and recorded with Crocodiles, Haunted Hearts, Devin Therriault, Temples,[12] Au.Ra,[13] Cleopold,[14] Splashh and Ballet School.[15]

In addition to his performance work, he curates the experimental record label In Context Music.[12]
