ENLIGHTENMENT
Alessia Christofaris, Indigo Loau 

The VIVID project team Enlightenment is a part of the VIVID music group. Enlightenment has worked towards collaborating with other artists to write and compose original songs surrounding themes of optimism, curiosity and energy, creating a playground of the unexpected. The group has achieved this through the overall nostalgic and melancholy undertone of their acoustic pieces as well as the theme aligning and thought-provoking lyrics. 

CHRIS DOHERTY
Chris Doherty composes songs that combine high energy and optimism reflecting the unexpected world that has influenced his teenage years. His works are designed to provoke curiosity and excitement. In the creative process Chris has experimented with multi layers arrangements for solo artists. 

SERENDIPITY
Gemma Golding, Alessia Christofaris, Rider Pate 
Serendipity has written songs that encourage the audience to engage their thoughts and emotions about the unexpected events going on in the world. They have been working independently and collaboratively with a range of different artists which allows them to experiment with different genres and concepts. 

VOLATILITY
Michele Postavikov, Deme Milne 
Volatility have been producing a variety of songs involving different themes ranging from childhood nostalgia and unforeseen friendships while experimenting with different musical concepts. This provokes curiosity within Bradfield's interpretation of this year's VIVID project theme, playground of the unexpected. 

MYSTICAL
Alex Cable 
The artist Alex Cable is producing musical compositions with the use of new cutting-edge technology called the Roland verselab mv-1 (producing board). He is experimenting with multi genre sounds and beats which are designed to provoke curiosity with the audience. He is aiming to create a playground of the unexpected in the language of music. 

As we emerge from a distorted wonderland of expansion and contraction, it’s time to tread softly and dream big. Curiosity, energy and optimism are the drivers for community storytelling in film, photography, art, design, dance, music and drama – as seen through the eyes of young creatives at Bradfield College. 

Find out how play allows for happy accidents and unanticipated delights. You’re invited to stop and play, then glimpse how our emerging creative talents approach our city and this ‘new normal’ by embracing the unexpected. 

Playground of the Unexpected is the culmination of a creative approach to senior secondary education. For 16 weeks Bradfield year 11 students have worked in teams to stage the exhibition. It’s about providing a workplace experience in the creative industries so that student can build a skills passport made up of practical, technical, and transferrable skills to prepare them for future work and study options.

VOICE OF GOD

I wrote this song in like 2017 and have only just learnt how to play it without making a mistake in 2023 so here's some old angst that only gets more angsty as time goes by :)

There are things I love because I loved you
And after everything that's happened I still don't know what to do
There are things that I've thrown out and there are things I've sorted through and then there's you

And I'm so tired of hating you
Cause the only thing I gain from it is that my spirit dies
But I've already done it for him I don't wanna do it twice
But I'll play the game
I'll roll the dice

Am I your Jolene or are you mine?
I can't keep from crying half the time
And the last thing I wanna do
Is have to have this talk with you
But I miss you when I'm laughing or I have a glass of wine
And I hate you the rest of the time

I always knew we'd end in flames
But despite it all I didn't think you'd burn me to the ground
Every single time I miss your voice I hate the very sound
And I'm so lost, there's nothing to be found

Am I your Jolene or are you mine?
I can't keep from crying half the time
And the last thing I wanna do
Is have to have this talk with you
But I miss you when I'm laughing or I have a glass of wine
And I hate you the rest of the time

I've gotta fix the part of me that still hurts because of you
And I don't think that you deserve it
But I think I do

Am I your Jolene or are you mine?
I can't keep from crying half the time
And the last thing I wanna do
Is have to have this talk with you
But I miss you when I'm laughing or I have a glass of wine
And I hate you the rest of the time
