About Chris Cody
Cody’s artist catalog identifies him as a Sydney pianist and composer with an international career developed across Australia, Europe, Africa, and the United States. His recording archive begins with the Paris-made Chris Cody Coalition and distinguishes leader albums from later collaborative projects.[1]
The Outsider, Mountain To Sea, and Under Ocean show three different recent settings: an eight-piece ensemble, a spacious piano-and-reeds group, and a duo with sound artist Charlie Tait. Their release pages document Cody’s piano, composition, production, and project-leadership roles without collapsing the ensembles into one band.[2][3][4]
The Outsider
The 2022 octet album uses Cody’s writing for horns, oud, bass, drums, and percussion.[2]
Mountain To Sea
The 2024 recording places piano with Sandy Evans, Tessie Overmyer, and Lloyd Swanton in a drumless setting.[3]
Under Ocean
Cody and Charlie Tait combine solo piano, electronics, effects, and other instruments on their 2025 collaboration.[4]
