Bush Gothic (AUS) in partnership with Crich Live and Live & Local present

Crich residents are invited to participate in an international music collaboration on the 14th and 15th of May that involves absolutely no zoom meetings and no internet connection. What will the people of Crich need?

A telephone.

And a story.

British organisation Live & Local invited Australian post-modern folk band Bush Gothic to imagine a collaborative art piece. Live and Local would then match them up with a suitable village. Crich was the lucky village and this is what Bush Gothic have dreamed up:

Call Australia

Got something to say?

Been keeping a secret?

or maybe you have some delicious gossip?

We are listening and recording. Your cousins over the seas at the Bush Telegraph in Australia have been comissioned to set up a phone line direct from Crich to Melbourne. This phoneline has a recording device attached. Bush Telegraph want you to call this telephone line and tell them stories from your village, stories from your heart. Your words will be recorded (and maybe reordered) then turned into a sound art piece. This will be posted back to Crich on a compact disc ready for you to play.

And what is a sound art piece? It’s just a fancy way of saying we put stories and music together.

What is the phone number?

01158 880611

When to call?

Friday 14th & Saturday 15th May 9am - 12 noon
