Charlie Marshall & The Curious Minds present ‘Sublime’ – Songs of Science, Metaphysics & Ecology

Melbourne singer, songwriter and science teacher Charlie Marshall presents a unique personal vision, ‘Sublime – songs of Science, Metaphysics and Ecology’, a musical, visual and spoken word exploration of the extraordinary world of science and The Sublime. With his new band, The Curious Minds, Charlie will boldly go where few musicians have gone before, taking inspiring scientific concepts and fusing them with music, poetry and vision. Digital artists Thomas Ingram and Maize Wallin will connect the live performance to interactive music visualisers to produce graphics based on the themes of the songs. ‘Charlie has always been one of Australia’s most inventive songwriters – first with much loved cult band Harem Scarem, followed by Charlie Marshall & The Body Electric which featured members of such legendary outfits as The Dirty Three, Beasts Of Bourbon and The Avalanches. Now with his new works integrating science, philosophy and politics he may have created a new musical genre – poetic, scientific, political rock. All tickets include a full colour 20 page Progam booklet. The first 100 Pre-sale tickets will also receive a FREE DOWNLOAD of the new single ‘Cruel Machine’ to be collected on the night.

For this special event Charlie will perform these new songs with his band The Curious Minds; Clare Moore (Drums), Bryan Colechin (Bass), Tim Deane (Keyboards) and Andrew Watson (Violin). The band as a whole will bestow life and movement to the programmed visuals of iconic scientific concepts. From the breadth of the universe and the eternity of deep time to the infinitesimal world of the atom. From the superorganism of the Gaia Hypothesis to Chaos theory and the challenge of climate change. Accompanying Charlie and crew on this sublime journey will be acclaimed Melbourne poets Alicia Sometimes and Sean M. Whelan reading their mesmerising, science themed pieces and physicist and 3CR science presenter Chris Lassig providing expert insight into the wonders of the universe.
