about

The Great Barrier Reef is under threat...

...and in response a new collaboration of artists, musicians, film-makers and performers have united to create a poetic statement on the future of the natural wonder that is the great barrier reef.

SELFLESS is a Post-Rock Orchestra that unites a group of established musicians from a variety of disciplines including the Perth Symphony Orchestra and popular contemporary groups live scoring a video installation exhibited upon multiple screens and surfaces in an intimate setting.

The group creates epic long-form cinematic instrumental music akin to contemporary groups such as Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai and Sigur Ros.

SELFLESS challenges conventions of traditional music and art in an immersive performance that breaks the fourth wall - designed to educate and empower audiences to help enact positive social change through a carefully crafted poetic statement.

Utilising footage from award winning fjlm-makers, a live cinematic tapestry is woven around a chosen narrative, soundtracked live by the orchestra without any lyrics or text- a purely emotional juxtaposition of sound and vision that evokes the feeling of experimental documentaries such as Koyoonisquatsi and Baraka.

Each SELFLESS performance is a direct opportunity for an audience to take action, donating proceeds from ticket sales towards grassroots activists and organisations associated with alleviating the issues presented in each narrative.

In their first statement SELFLESS presents 'Great Barrier' an hour long performance exploring the natural wonder that is the Great Barrier Reef, the rich history and our troubled relationship that has lead to the current threat of its extinction: the bleached corals and the establishment of coal mine ports that threaten its existence, alternating with the human resistance and restoration efforts to hope to save it.

SELFLESS creates spaces in which hope and despair co-exist, where audiences can be educated and inspired about issues of social and environmental justice. . Every composition by the orchestra will be a unique exposition of the injustices the world, aimed to encourage audiences to take direct action.

Part proceeds from Selfless Orchestra shows and merchandise sales is donated towards charities that protect and aim to restore the Great Barrier Reef. This album will support the work of Frontline Action on Coal (FLAC) and the Reef Restoration Foundation.
