Wild Mountains Songs
2016
Wild Mountains Songs had very special and humble beginnings. Six songwriters from different corners of Brisbane’s music scene came together to write songs and have a breather, some meeting for the very first time. Four songs out of the six created over this weekend have been released.
Brisbane songwriters (L to R)
Kahl Wallis,
Emma Bosworth,
Megan Cooper,
Tim Steward,
Kellie Lloyd and Benjamin Hale all came together and were part of the first of many Wild Mountains Songs.
The Process
Songwriters were paired with a co-writer to complete a new song within 24 hours. Each song would then be performed in front of everyone, we borrowed some cameras and microphones and hit record.
Here’s Megan Cooper and Kahl Wallis’ Wild Mountains in its pure form.
“The Wild Mountains writing retreat gave me the mental and physical space to create what I feel is some of my best work.” Megan Cooper
The 2016 Wild Mountains Songs was made possible with the support of the Wild Mountains Trust.
