Forest Collective: It’s A Matter Of Time

‘Time that is moved by little fidget wheels is not my time – the flood that does not flow.’ 

– Kenneth Slessor

The artists of Forest Collective come together for a tumultuous journey through beauty, melancholia, desire, and irrepressible energy, as they explore humanity’s struggle with the inexorable passage of time. Through music, the most temporally linear of all art forms, It’s A Matter Of Time grapples with the shared experiences of our short lives against the backdrop of nature’s sprawling eternity.
