Addicted to Bass
Addicted to Bass reviews
“Innovation, creativity and energy in this music make it endlessly fascinating and most enjoyable.” The Music Trust
“Even with my anti-recorder baggage, this disc made a real impression on me, and I suspect Crossley will convert a great many more sceptics before her career is through. If there can be such a thing as a recorder rockstar, Crossley is that, and her performances in these pieces will do much to improve the instrument's standing.” Fish Fine Music
“Crossley is obviously a virtuosic player. She is able to execute all of the required technical demands of the music and the musical intent, which can easily be lost when one is not listening to a live performance, comes across well in this recorded format.” ClassikOn

Sideband
Sideband began as a recording project initiated by emerging Australian composers Tristan Coelho, Brad Gill and Peter McNamara and has evolved into a composer-performer collective with an aim to stimulate innovative new repertoire for our ensemble whilst fostering a commitment to developing these works through dynamic recordings, premieres and repeat performances. We also aim to present significant works by established but less performed Australian composers. This, our first recording project spanning 2012-13, features works of Coelho, Gill and McNamara as well as emerging composer Chris Williams and the esteemed Slovenian-Australian composer Božidar Kos. These powerful yet intimate mixed chamber works emphasise percussion and vocal elements and are performed by some of Australia’s most talented, established and emerging artists. Two of these performers, Alicia Crossley and Nicole Thomson, along with composer/performer Brad Gill form the core Sideband ensemble.
Sideband review
“Crossley’s performance in As the Dust Settles by Coelho demonstrates why she is one of Australia’s leading recorder players as she superbly transverses the bass recorder, coaxing a vast range of tone colours from the instrument” ClassikOn
