Soldiers of the willow meet the 16th Battalion by rivermusic
This music score By Alberto Zelman- ‘Soldiers of the willow’ (from QLD State Library) was converted to MIDI as part of Hack to the Future project at The Edge. I revamped it in Ableton Live, using orchestral strings and crunchy piano mashed with an urban beat and ultra modern bass sounds for juxtaposition. I then added a reading of a short poem and names of the 16th battalion from the 1915 ‘War diary of Arthur Oxer’ (from the SA State library)
