Ten Years of Departure Songs.
Post-rock legends We Lost The Sea will perform their landmark record Departure Songs with the musicians of The Metropolitan Orchestra and Vox, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs.
Departure Songs is inspired by failed, yet honourable events throughout history where people have done extraordinary things for the greater good. Each song is a soundtrack to a story, from the tragic 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster to the ill-fated last dive of David Shaw.
The record was the band's third album and their first instrumental album, after the unfortunate loss of vocalist Chris Torpy.
Since 2015, Departure Songs has earned critical acclaim, sold thousands of records, millions of streams and propelled multiple world tours.
The project united four of the most influential musicians in contemporary music. Dave Holland's revolutionary approach to rhythm and ensemble writing, Chris Potter's relentless improvisational fluency, Lionel Loueke's singular blend of guitar, harmony and West African influence, and Eric Harland's generation-defining rhythmic language formed a band that quickly developed a global cult following.
For this special performance at the Hall, Aziza will revisit music from their legendary debut album while opening the door to new improvisation, new energy and a decade of shared musical evolution. Few modern jazz groups have combined this level of musicianship, identity and live intensity. Ten years on, Aziza still sounds entirely its own.
