we popped into the Linsey Pollak’s rural studio to check out how the songs of gaia<\/a> rehearsals were going. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amongst all the sounds, and musical instruments, there was Linsey’s place of work: a woodwork studio full of handmade woodwind instruments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studio was an eclectic collection of artwork, photos and memories. We could of shot the whole roll of film just wandering around the space. And we nearly did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, onto the rehearsals of Songs of Gaia<\/a>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to pinpoint exactly what you\u2019re hearing. The artists are having fun \u2014 blending genres, sounds, and cultures. They are sounds from far away. Sounds we haven\u2019t heard before \u2014 and certainly not together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a warm energy to the performance that welcomes you in \u2014 it almost takes you to the country from which the sounds originate. Like a trance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the artists\u2019 play together, you can\u2019t take your eyes off them. Scanning from instrument to instrument \u2014 wondering where each sound is coming from. It\u2019s an unusual sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance builds, and builds, and builds. It feels like it\u2019s never going to stop. And that is what\u2019s so enjoyable about this show (and all good music) \u2014 you don\u2019t want it to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
