Migrating Bird – Veroniqué Serret

With her third studio album, ‘Migrating Bird’, Veronique Serret delivers a heartfelt ode to Brisbane’s bushland. The Sydney-based violinist, composer and vocalist effortlessly blends her classical and contemporary influences, transporting us into the ethereal soundscapes of her mind. One of the album’s opening tracks, ‘Carbon Footprints’, immediately grips us with its pulsating rhythms and immersive textures—it is a wonderfully off-kilter composition that meshes Serret’s violin with the raw sounds of didgeridoos, wooden percussion and sampled field recordings from Serret’s time spent in Mt Cootha, Brisbane. When the world stood still and our cities took pause, I turned to mother nature … this is what she said to me.
