Discover why collaboration, and connection to place, people, past and language, is central to William Barton's music.
"We become the spirit of the land. We become the whisper of the wind through the trees. We become the embodiment of nature. A reflective interpretation of landscape, we with our instruments in tune with each other’s own journeys and experience connect and form harmony, rhythm, silence and nuances, the feeling of all existence. The connection to place." - William Barton
Collaboration is in Australian composer, didgeridoo virtuoso and vocalist William Barton's DNA. The new work he wrote for Finding Our Voice, UKARIA and Sydney Opera House's New Works program, 'Connection', epitomises his process and the value he places in working with others, as well as the profound connection his work has with landscape and language.
