Baggage Handlers - Jon & Dom

'Baggage Handler' is what happens when two diverse creative practitioners at the top of their game decide to work together.

Art Collective WA member Jon Tarry will launch the result of a unique collaboration with musician Dom Mariani - the album Baggage Handler - at The Backlot Perth on Friday 9 August 2019.

Dom and Jon will be joined by distinguished musicians for the launch. Tickets are almost sold out, but check just in case you are lucky!

Recorded at Killerwatt Studios in 2017/18 it is a shared intuitive exploration – of the moments between departure and arrival. Mariani and Tarry construct a sonic framework from the known and an unknown turbulent space. Each track creates a narrative where sound expands in the slip stream of shared memory. They are the ‘Baggage Handlers’ in the journey.

The full production studio album is available across multiple platforms - some (Jurassic Technology) CD and Vinyl limited editions, plus online via iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify, and other direct downloads.

There is a film for each track, sepia, blur, psychedelic, handmade film plus code generated animations responding to each track. Click through to view preview.
