The Odd River

Helen Svoboda presents The Odd River, a surreal musical exploration of humanity's relationship with nature and the generational malaise surrounding climate change.

This album features a large ensemble of some of Australia's most eclectic improvisers. The soundtrack journeys through moments of startling beauty, childlike playfulness, and dense chaos.

The Odd River showcases Svoboda's quirky compositional style, cycling through a rapidly changing landscape with an eclectic instrumentation including double bass, voice, prepared piano, harmonium, zither, trombone, piccolo trumpet, woodwinds, percussion, and virtuosic whistling.
