ABOUT THE PROJECT

The accelerators of prosperity and connection are now the accelerators of crisis. In tomorrow's world, everything will either change or be changed.

Line Is Drawn is music in slow time. For thirty minutes, the musicians play, bathed in light and sound. An old song forms a cavernous soundscape in which time seems to barely pass.

= = =

the line it is drawn, the curse it is cast

the slow one now will later be fast

as the present now, will later be past

the order is rapidly fading

and the first one now will later be last

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Alex Raupach a musician who lives in the space between notated composition, improvisation and song. His native mode is jazz, as a trumpet player and composer-leader for his Sydney based quartet. His recent projects include PRETTY SLOW MUSIC, a piano-based solo singer-songwriter song cycle, and Giffen, the Sydney chamber-folk group in which he sings and plays double bass. Until recently based in Melbourne, he has returned to Canberra to work as General Manager of the Canberra International Music Festival.

He is joined by a unique trio of Sydney creative musicians: drummer Chloe Kim, bassist Jacques Emery, and pianist Linus Foley.
