Nat Bartsch ensemble  – ‘Lights and Shadows’-  recorded in Isolation 2020

During Covid lockdown in 2020, the gang all got together remotely to make a live video clip of the tune ‘Lights and Shadows’,which is one of the tracks from Nat Bartsch’s Aria nominated album ‘Forever More’. We recorded the album at the ABC studios in Melbourne in March 2019, just before Covid hit us!  It’s a beautiful album which has gone on to soothe the souls of many, both young and old.

Fun fact, this little improvisation was the inspiration that led to the creation of the song ‘Winter Break’, and the MLIVE collaboration!
