The first single ‘How to read a city’ from the ‘Place of last resort’ tone poem album is set for release in the usual places. Final edits and mixing are in process. Jaunty and upbeat in tone, the piece has Gypsy and Central European melodic themes and symbolizes our powerlessness in the race to the bottom of the economy . The whole tone poem is based on the works of Australian Author and musician Elizabeth Walton.
Acacia Quartet do an amazing job alternating between inquisitive pizzicato entry and jerky juxtapositions climaxing in First Violinist Lisa Stewarts vibrato ridden plea for mercy. Pics @elizabethwalton.au and thanks to CreateNSW and Fourwinds
