Featuring Andrew Tuttle, Christine Johnston, Michael Askill And MZAZA

Take a tour into the hinterland for a day of deep listening to four distinctly different performances in four iconic rural sheds.

Big hART’s Acoustic Life of Sheds invites leading composers, musicians and artists to celebrate the architectural embodiments of rural culture as sound-shells by reimagining them for audiences in the landscape. The finished pieces are presented in a series of promenade concerts over a 20-kilometre journey along Gold Coast Springbrook Road. Hear four virtuosic artists across the four-hour tour perform new site-specific works, set among the lush, green foothills of the mountains, and experience another side of the Gold Coast.

Musicians, composers and sound designers explore these sheds on family farms, to be inspired by the echoes of the past, and to play back these sonic lives to us.
