Bing/Santospirito are Natalya Bing (violin, piano, drums) & Joshua Santospirito (guitar, piano, drums), performers, composers and artists.

Natalya and Joshua live in lutruwita (Tasmania, Australia) and create hypnotic improvised soundscapes using elements from classical improvisation combined with noise / improv / jazz music. They often collaborate with visual artists and film-makers to create fully immersive performances which have been staged at major festivals and underground venues.

In 2023 they composed the music to the theatre performance of A Mouthful of ‘C’ Words, directed by Chris Mead (Melbourne Theatre Co) with a season at the Peacock Theatre starring Fengyi Liu and Jem Nicholas. The band’s 2023 EP Music for Opera #1 was taken from warm-up pieces recorded during the theatre sessions.

In 2022 they were the recipient of an Arts Tasmania grant to attend a four week residency at Sandford, Tasmania.

At Mona Foma 2021 they performed The Quoll to sell-out crowds at St David’s Cathedral: a live improvised soundtrack to an art-film made by Joshua Santospirito starring artist Sally Rees. These performances were recorded for their first vinyl LP in 2022 through Scratch Match Records.

They are currently working on a second full album and several audiovisual performance pieces; one with Irish experimental film-maker Ursula Woods, and another a dance-performance installation with an ensemble.

Natalya Bing, a half-Colombian living in Queenstown, Tasmania, is a classically trained concert violinist with decades of experience performing at Opera houses with symphony orchestras and underground dive bars. She currently performs with Hartz Trio, Van Diemens Band, Warner Smith & Bancroft and with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

Joshua Santospirito is a multimedia artist, writer, experimental musician/performer and an award winning graphic novelist. As a musician he has performed solo for 20 years across Australia and Europe but can usually be found these days in his studio making marks with ink on paper or in the garden with his chickens.

Collaborators: For various projects we have worked closely with Randal Muir, Ivan Johnston, film-makers Ursula Woods, Jade Elford, Chris Mead (Melbourne Theatre Co) and MORE.
