RIVERS TALK (2012)

 RIVERS TALK is a new collaborative radiophonic work on Australian river ecology, a joint mix of river culture from the Murray River in Mildura, Victoria and the Noosa River in Queensland. RIVERS TALK dissolves the dense local sonic profiles from the artists’ solo works Voicing the Murray (1996) and Confluence (2005) in a dynamic profile of continuing issues surrounding river care and the sensitive man/nature relationships. Through the radiophonic medium of collaborative electroacoustic sound, these issues can be heard through the authentic local voices and revisited not only in Australia but worldwide.

 RIVERS TALK is the first major collaboration between Ros Bandt and Leah Barclay. 

 RIVERS TALK has been been released as a limited edition CD by hearing places. The CD is printed on recycled environmental friendly materials and also includes Ros Bandt’s acclaimed composition Blue Gold.
