Alongside, Amongst, Against is an ongoing performance project by composer and sound artist Leah Blankendaal.
Ethereal flute and loop pedal improvisations form gentle soundscapes that respond to both the physical and communal world. The striking artwork of Rosalie Gascoigne, coupled with the unique natural environment of Bundanon, create a rich context for Blankendaal to draw from. Experience the art of Rosalie Gascoigne as told by one of Australia’s most exciting and original musical voices.
