Postcards from the West 2024 RTR Fundraiser

RTRFM brings you Postcards from the West, an audio-visual exploration of WA history.

RTRFM has teamed up with the State Library of Western Australia and the Perth International Jazz Festival to bring you a truly unique event:.

Some of the state’s finest musical talents dig into some unseen film archives from the State Library, showcasing WA's incredible history and composing brand-new soundtracks for the footage, to be performed live at Camelot Cinema, Mosman Park on Saturday 21 September.

Catch the ambient guitar magic of Jameson Feakes, the otherworldly wonder of Great Statue, the experimental sounds of Pale Ribbons Tossed into the Dark and the synth mastery of Slow Point.  

These four eclectic and innovative West Australian acts are all renowned for their boundary-pushing approaches to sound, and will all bring their distinctive sonic styles to these newly composed scores for archival film footage from the state library’s collections.

From the views from the south, to its shimmering, expansive coastlines; from the elements that have forged it, to the people that have shaped Western Australia into a truly magical state, the State Library’s collections will be brought to new life as part of this audio-visual performance.
