Jake Baxendale (NZ) Quartet 'Gardening Music;

"These rhythms were their relation to human harvests; if we add other relations, for example, to pollinators or other plants, rhythms multiply. The polyphonic assemblage is the gathering of these rhythms, as they result from world-making projects, human & not human."  Anna Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World

Join Jake Baxendale for ‘Gardening Music’, a set of original compositions referencing & drawing inspiration from gardening & the natural world. Taking a leaf from writers in the environmental humanities such as Anna Tsing & Robin Wall-Kimmerer, Jake is branching out from traditional modes of music making, digging deep into approaches that reflect growth, relationships, & life-giving sustenance.  He will perform with a wonderful quartet of Sydney musicians
