ARIA Hall of Fame composer and performer, Barton Price, unveils his new contemporary composition with 2D &3D visual art.

Modern Times is a collection of four vignettes that discuss the challenges of contemporary life from COVID and related mental health challenges, through unfathomable miscommunication, to the perils of Hubris in our globalised societies.

Barton’s work exists at the intersection of contemporary composition and 2D & 3D visual art. He has always painted and drawn as a part of his composition process, but in recent years the importance of the imagery has increased, to the point where his images are now the musical scores for performers to read and interpret, and visual content for the audience to engage with. The score has become the work.
