Rare Chords Presents: Zoltan Fecso & Anna Morley

RARE CHORDS is a deep-listening community based in Nipaluna, Lutruwita. Our aim is to connect artists from diverse musical traditions & sound practises in a spirit of collaboration and cross-pollination. Our events take place across a range of contemplative & intimate performance environments, prioritising warm and visually-calm spaces where musicians and audiences can relax, connect, and share energy together.

For the second edition of Rare Chords, we are pleased to host Naarm-based duo, Zoltan Fecso & Anna Morley, who are presenting their exquisite new album, Desire Path. On this record, Zoltan unearths the warmest possible tones from a Prophet synthesizer and melds them with the shimmering colours of Anna Morley’s vibraphone. Together, as the music unfurls in gradual waves, they draw time almost to a standstill, slowing the listener’s pulse and saturating the body in an elemental calm. In other words, “This music does not create a song for our ears… It is a ‘state,’ such as moonlight poured over the fields.” — Leonhard Huizinga.

Support comes from local Alex Marsh, whose latest album (Trellis) was released last year with California label Not Not Fun. Trellis weaves acoustic and electronic timbres together in a delicate ecosystem of sound; the album has received airplay across NTS radio, including Sofie Birch's long-running Ambient Abracadabra. For this performance, Alex will be performing with a combination of zither, electronics, piano and clarinet.
