Kriv Stenders, 2015) is named for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served together in the Gallipoli Campaign, their first engagement in World War I and continued as a military unit until after WW2. The film is a look at this pivotal point in our shared history, and the impact it still has on a personal and on a geopolitical level. Harvey recently examined this period via the prism of a fictional soldier \/ poet for his collaboration with Christopher Richard Barker, The Fall and Rise of Edgar Bourchier and the Horrors of War. \u003ci\u003eThe Journey\u003c\/i\u003e is a four-part composition, recorded with The Letter String Quartet, in support of people seeking asylum who have found themselves in Australia’s offshore detention program. The piece was composed as a study of the hardships endured by the detainees on Nauru, Manus Island and Christmas Island before and during their internment and as an expression of hope for a humane outcome to their plight. \u003ci\u003eWaves of Anzac \/ The Journey\u003c\/i\u003e was composed, arranged and produced by Mick Harvey and mastered by Loki Lockwood at Creepy Hollow. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50498712666443,"sku":"1085372","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498713387339,"sku":"1085371","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/885da8b9-1b5c-477c-b5a5-cd5b3561b30f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727754899","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/waves-of-anzac-the-journey","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
