Stationary is the debut release of FGHR – Darryn Farrugia, Leonard Grigoryan , Luke Howard and Ben Robertson – who are some of Australia’s finest contemporary musicians.

 

The album features lush original compositions of song-based instrumentals with folk and European jazz influences, evoking images of vast cinematic landscapes. 

​

In a nod to the tradition of improvised music covering popular song, the album opens with a rearrangement of the Missy Higgins song 'All for Believing'.

​

Although all members are accomplished improvisers in the jazz idiom, the focus is textural rather than improvisational, emphasising group interplay over individual expression.
