Track In Progress

 With a major new project on the go, life has been pretty flat out. With the first layer of the first track put down in December with Anyerin Drury on Didgeridoo, invitations went out at the beginning of the year for the second layer. In February a group of local singers gathered at the Wetlands Centre in Shortland to lay down a chant which would sit behind the Didge track.

On a beautiful still and cool Saturday morning, we gathered to chant. Stevi Cannon directed the voices, Zac Limon bought his equipment to record in situ, and Catherine Knight worked behind the camera to get some footage. Here's a taste of the sound with the Didge track playing.  

Don't forget to subscribe to the Vlog The Wetlands Arts Project  to be notified when new updates are loaded up. I'd love to share the journey with you, introduce you to the musicians and their instruments, the artists who will create their works from the music, and the volunteers who work tirelessly in the wetlands.

CONNECTING THE HUNTER WETLANDS TO MUSIC AND FIBRES 

It's no exaggeration to say that the opening of this exhibition was simply a triumph! 

Spilling out on to the footpath, on a balmy summer evening, the Timeless Textiles Gallery was packed like it’s never been packed out before. Guests were treated to some delicious wine and canapes, lovely live music, and simply OUTSTANDING artworks! The Artists have done an incredible job interpreting the music from the "Song of the Wetlands" album. 

Here is the link for you to see the pieces and listen to the song that inspired each; THE EXHIBITION  but I strongly encourage you to get in to the gallery before it finishes ....there's real magic in seeing the works LIVE ...closing on the 11th Feb.

A smaller exhibition will move to the Hunter Wetlands, Shortland, in April but being a smaller space, it cannot accommodate the larger pieces in the collection. 

And of course, don’t forget, you can go to my Bandcamp page to listen to the album – Moz on Bandcamp  - just click on Song of the Wetlands and listen free. You can also purchase the full album or individual tracks
