“…Eden Mulholland acknowledges traditional folk music as his greatest source of inspiration for The Zone’s mesmerising, phenomenal, percussive score, and musical references to Armenian choral song, Georgian folk song and Spanish Flamenco are prominent in his music. His score is delivered live, loud and visible, with Mulholland and his piano and microphone placed at the front of the auditorium on the side. Glancing at the dancers, he sings live, plays piano and guitar and strolls back and forth in front of the audience many times throughout, drawing them into the work in a non-stop, tour de force performance” Margaret Mercer | Dance Australia
Co3 Australia’s The Zone is created by Raewyn Hill with composition and live performance by Eden Mulholland 2018
lyrics
Though she sings to me
In a foreign language
In an ancient tongue
No it don’t matter
If you get the gist of it
Singing in that voice
Of my father
Singing something like this
Back when he was a young man
It's like we coulda been twins
I don't want to go
To the future
The one that they sold us
The one we ordered
Just buy circling round a dying sun
Like they told me
Like they ordered
Circling round a dying sun
Just by circling round a dying sun
Just by circling
Still we do as we’re told
Yeah we do as we're told
Still we do what we’re told
Circle round so high
Until we just dissolve
