Product details
A collaboration between a young Australian
composer and a multi-award winning poet, combining elements of
contemporary chamber music, electric instruments, electronics and
voice with a vivid text.
"Like every city, the soundscape is a constant
hum of people, traffic lights, cars, buses, birds. Depending on
where you are, you also hear water, trains, music. Depending on
when you are, your ears pick up the scurry of rats and possums,
the asymmetrical rhythm of drunken steps in cloppy heels
punctuated by profane outbursts, laughter and conversation in
many languages. Some people open their mouths and the sound of
bank notes flap with their tongues. Others speak with a smile
full of shark teeth, ever-ready to take a nip. The lucidity of
the dream that created the structures holding this city together
- something beautiful yet strange." -
