Songs of Progress

                                                                Rhythms of Change 

​

​

With visuals by Toy Murchie and sound by Harry Ford, this installation brings together the visual and the acoustic.  

​

Steel, copper, brass, and wood, instruments of culture, elements, compounds of nature and humanity.

Sound, the intangible ambience, ever present, even when absent.

A three hour story in sound. As the harmonics change, so to the perception.

​

We need change throughout our cultures.

We are not outside nature, we are a part of it.

We must recognise and comprehend this simple fact before we destroy ourselves.

​

Toitu he kainga, whatungarongaro he tangata.

The land still remains when people have disappeared.
