Fitkin – TREELINE – Bucharest, Romania

Graham will be cycling the 2500 mile journey through 10 European countries, with piano concerts and workshops at 20 locations of his new musical work using recordings from specific trees.  Communities from Romania back to the UK choose a local tree to ‘profile’.  These communities work with us to collect data, including measurements of the tree, its canopy shape, branch structure, images of the tree, ambient audio and also audio recordings from inside each tree.  All this information goes in to a new flexible one hour musical work which emphasises different trees at each performance.

Graham will be cycling the entire route and I’ll be the support vehicle, taking photos and video of the journey and working musically with communities along the way. I’ll be taking a harp too!
