One string bass and a night train in Toowoomba

Toowoomba coal train reimagined by Clelia Ciardulli.

"The piece spoke to me about solitude in the night, listening to the bare essential structures out there still working. I sat alone at night with my 'one-string' electric bass 'thinking' of how many of us listen more acutely in isolation, of how I could connect myself, and the place I live, Govanhill, Glasgow, Scotland with that person in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, what feeling could run through both of us."
