‘It’s Been A While Since Our Last Correspondence’ is the new collaborative spoken word and music record from renowned Australian solo artist and composer David Bridie.

During the quiet of the 2020 pandemic, David reached out to 13 spoken word artists inviting them to compose and narrate a piece that reflected some tangential aspect of Australia. From initial phone voice recordings, to music composition and then back and forth, each piece was refined collaboratively (remotely) until a studio visit was allowed.

The contributing artists feature songman Kutcha Edwards, human rights activist Arnold Zable, writer Catherine Deveny, comedian and actor Anthony Morgan, director and choreographer Deborah Brown and more.
