2 March @ Fremantle Arts Centre ·
Presented by Hanna Benn & Deantoni Parks ·

Analogue, digital, acoustic and synthetic sounds seamlessly combine in Procession, a collaboration between Atlanta-based vocalist and composer Hanna Benn (Son Lux, Boots), percussionist, composer and producer Deantoni Parks (The Mars Volta, Sade, Flying Lotus) and an ensemble of Australia’s finest players.

Direct from its world premiere in the US, Procession explores the spiritual and emotional core of ceremonial music in the form of a luminous song cycle. Benn’s ethereal vocal textures are elevated by electronic flourishes and anchored by Parks’ ceaselessly kinetic rhythms, inviting you into a sublime sanctum of sound.

Part of the Fremantle Arts Centres annual Soft Soft Loud series.

Presented in association with Fremantle Arts Centre
