Melbourne artist Lee Hannah releases their visual album, Infinitely - a stunningly slow-moving 20 minute short film / album depicting the intricate natural and unnatural ecology of Australia’s mallee district. Filmed on an iPhone over one week in winter while camping on Latje Latje, Kureinji, Barkindji and Wergaia land (Northern Victoria & South Australia), Lee visually composes landscapes in constant transformation in a region of the country that’s often known for being harsh and unforgiving.
The soundtrack to the film carries influence from experimentalists such as the Necks and the Dirty Three, tastefully depicting the dry yet unpredictable nature of the landscape with a minimal approach of one or two instruments improvising over a drone.
“After a few days straight of setting up your phone to record for extended periods of time trying your best to remain silent, you very quickly realise that the mallee never really stays still. It’s comforting - to know what looks dry, barren and lifeless from a distance, is undeniably alive and exciting on a micro scale.”
The visual record marks a drastic change in direction for Lee, who previously released three albums and toured around Australia and Europe under the name The Townhouses, as well as more recently working as one half of house-duo Take Your Time.
Infinitely will be released digitally and on limited cassette through Healthy Tapes on February 23rd.
