‘Fountain’, a new orchestral arrangement of Max Lawrence’s music as performed with Forest Collective, explores an urgency for fluidity in our interactions with ourselves and environment.
Through observing their inner and outer world, Lawrence creates lush baroque pop music with an experimental edge, expressing vulnerability as a form of resistance.
By blending Lawrence’s intimate songs with the contemporary ensemble Forest Collective, ‘Fountain’ creates an aqueous expression of sonic humanity, encouraging catharsis on a personal level.
