Tim Garland expresses that his journey since his first album has been about creating music influenced by adjacent art forms, particularly visual art. He emphasizes art's powerful role in bridging cultural divides, especially through workshops with migrant communities. He reflects on the exciting synergy between his compositions and the creativity of his Lighthouse Trio: Gwilym Simcock and Asaf Sirkis. The collaboration with guest Yazz Ahmed adds another layer to this unique artistic experience.
Garland states, "It's wonderful for me as a band-leader to witness how Gwilym Simcock and Asaf Sirkis can elevate the framework of my compositions to create something energizing and challenging. The opportunity to incorporate visual art from Esra Kizir Gokcen and workshop participants allows the music to resonate within a larger narrative, enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved."
He emphasizes the importance of participation, noting that free tickets are available for those who've attended Esra's workshops, aiming to bring those artists into the audience to experience the culmination of their work alongside the music.
Garland adds, "By blending visual arts with live music, this collaboration not only showcases the therapeutic power of art but also engages deeper cultural conversations, making the performance a space of dialogue between diverse experiences and backgrounds."
