Laura Altman

Laura Altman is a Sydney-based clarinetist, improviser and composer working across improvised, exploratory and folk music. She is a long-standing member of the Splinter Orchestra and of Great Waitress with Monica Brooks and Magda Mayas, and has been an important presence in Sydney’s experimental-music community for well over a decade.

Her recent solo practice combines clarinet with resonance, feedback, voice, cassette tapes, speakers, tins and small objects. She also writes songs for voice and guitar, co-hosts Listening Space on Eastside Radio, helps run the exploratory-music directory emus.space, and released her first solo CD, Holy Trinity, on Relative Pitch Records in 2025.
