Miss Olive (4) very kindly introduced me to one of the little Donkey's friends. It was a beautiful and colourful lorikeet that came along to cheer up the little Donkey. We settled here for a little while with a picnic and pencils. In fact we could have stayed all day, but there were also hills to roll down and other planets to explore.
Playing in the sculpture park
We had a wonderful sunny Saturday last weekend with some of our favourite children (and grown-ups) as they played our music in Heide's sculpture park.
They told us stories about aliens and chickens, drew us pictures of performing mice and moon bubbles, and made lots of great sounds using sticks, seed pods and whooshing voices!
Here are some of our favourite photos from the day...
Recording music at Heide Museum
Our composer, Elissa Goodrich, took us on a tour of Heide's sculpture park to show us the sculptures that have inspired her music making.
She also showed us how she used the sculptures to make music! We made sure that Heide gave us permission first, before we used the artwork as percussive instruments. Check out the short film that I made from that day.
Elissa also told us about her adventures recording outside in the sculpture part at Heide, Museum of Modern Art. In the sunny, quiet afternoon she came across waddling ducks, sporty joggers, a friendly green lizard!
