Opening Friday, June 26.
ARIA-nominated pianist, composer, producer and advocate Nat Bartsch brings her lullaby album Forever Changed to Hyphen as a multimedia immersive experience in surround sound, exploring the neurodivergent sensory experience of music.
Recorded at home, often with her 7 year old son sleeping down the hall, Forever Changed celebrates Nat’s discovery of her autistic/ADHD identity in her late 30’s and reflects upon the enormous changes that have occurred in her life since. Originally presented as a live performance, Nat has worked in collaboration with Hyphen to present Forever Changed as an installation for the first time.
The installation features animated visual projections created by Mark Wells that connect to Nat’s lyrical, ethereal melodies. With thanks to Hadyn Buxton (spatial mix engineer) and the neurodivergent people who provided feedback through the creation of this project.
