On this day, one year ago, our #queer rights oratorio โWATERSHED: The Death of Dr Duncanโ received its world premiere @adelaidefestival performance by the amazing @adelaidechambersingers, @ainsleymelham (The Lost Boy), Mark Oats (Duncan/Dunstan), Pelham Andrews (Mick O'Shea/Cop). Libretto by Alana Valentine & Christos Tsiolkas, directed by Neil Armfield. Creating this with so many incredible people would have to be the most significant and wonderful experience of my life. Looking forward to more of Watershed in the future ๐๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ (at Dunstan Playhouse, Festival Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUpagayg6y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Was just reflecting on stuff cool Iโve had the honour of being part of over the years, and I wondered what happened to the orchestra arrangements I did for Eskimo Joe and West Australian Symphony Orchestra a while back. Had no idea they were released on a recording! Cool to hear these for the first time years later ๐ https://open.spotify.com/track/4F1TJo14bOE1pUyHreqi89?autoplay=true&source_application=google_assistant (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjdLzomJcCW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
