A collaboration of Artists speaking through sound.
Originally a piece for the Land that Speaks created in the moment by Caroline Neeling (Piano) and Michael Arvanitakis (Cello) in 2014.
The feeling grew as did the story into the most recent creation.
A piece for my solo dance perfomance within the show called "Secretos de la Raiz" Secret of the Roots.
I shared a true story of an interaction I had with a whale swimming together out in the ocean with Sebastian Barahona, the sound producer for the show. He listened to my story and merged it with the Original Creation of Emergence....
I speak in Gamilaray, one of the languages of my Ancestors here in this continent known as Australia.
May it inspire beauty in your heart, its created from all the beautiful places in our hearts as people communicating through music.
Thank you to all Life - Thank you to the living Spirit in all.
Love Rachel
