THE SONGWRITERS
Perpetual Echoes drew together a group of creators - all experienced artists, musicians, performers and songwriters in their own right - and challenged them to share an experience, to reflect and draw inspiration, then to respond collectively.
The collaborative process provided its own inspirations, experiences and creative challenges for the songwriters across the course of the project. The visual stimulus offered the enticement as the notes continued to resonate - reflecting and evolving until they were ready to be heard in the songs of Perpetual Echoes.
