Dream Barge

2001

A barge that was part huge Brisbane Centenary of Federation River Parade directed by Neil Cameron.

Linsey was Musical Director and one of the barges was the Dream Barge that Linsey designed along with Steve Weis.

Eight musicians worked in two teams of four to play non stop music to half a million people as the flotilla of barges was towed along the Brisbane river. The music was made using samples of frogs, birds, boat horns and drum sounds that were triggered by percussively playing twelve x  6 metre high bamboo masts with long thin white sails. The whole barge was lit with ultra violet light.
