SAVED

SAVED, created by internationally renowned performer and workshops leader Graeme Leak (The Spaghetti Western Orchestra), is a sonic exploration through the ordinary moments of everyday life. The show centres around two rescued 1970s home organs, deconstructed to expose their internal spinning speakers for you to see and hear. Leak brings these instruments and other retro devices – from AM radios to a modified kitchen whisk – back to life, creating an evocative, analogue soundscape that invites the audience into a reimagined past. In a world of high-tech distractions, SAVED is a meditative respite, reminding us of the beauty in the everyday: a glass rolling on a plate, or the quiet hum of a radio. Leak weaves moments of musical wonder using over 20 found and handcrafted instruments, including his own ‘string-can’ bass guitar, made from reclaimed hardwood and an oil can. This performance blurs the line between music and sound, encouraging the audience to relax and let the playful sound textures wash over them.
