FARM MUSIC
The sounds of rural Taranaki will be brought to life playfully and surprisingly by a collaboration of participants in Farm Music.
Renowned drummer, composer and educator Chris O’Connor pairs with sound installation artist Dr Bridget Johnson in partnership with the Taranaki Retreat, Access Radio Taranaki and the Rural Support Trust to bring together a unique community arts collaboration focused on creativity, mental health and well being support for male participants.
The men will work with O’Connor (who has performed with musicians as diverse as Don McGlashan, Trinity Roots, Neil Finn, and the Auckland Chamber Orchestra) and Johnson, Senior Lecturer at the Massey School of Music and Creative Media Production in Wellington.
This innovative installation work will be showcased on Sunday November 8 at Reset 2020, presented by the Taranaki Arts Festival Trust.
Farm Music is funded by Creative New Zealand.
Farm Music is looking for Taranaki men to participate! If you would like to find out more you can check out the Facebook group.
