Earlier in the year on my first visit to Berlin, I was lucky enough to cross paths with a talented Portuguese artist, Tiago Margaça. Over the past 7 months, Tiago has created a stunnning visual representation of my piece Driplets, using his own stop motion and drawing techniques. We look forward to collaborating more in the near future, but for now, here is Driplets. Muito obrigado Tiago

Tour completed. It was a great success! We started off with a very special night for the album launch.
It was an awesome turn out with lots of love in the room. We then loaded up the car and proceeded to
make our way around Spain playing a total of 9 shows in Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Zaragoza,
L'Estartit and Figueres. Ciara Carruthers performed some sweet solo sets along the way, you can check out
all her updates at ciaracarruthers.wordpress.com.
Gerard whipped up some mean bass and acquired a new and wonderful nickname, Gerald Còrn, inspired by the
many cornfields we passed along the way. Sam did an awesome job chauffeuring our asses around and keeping the
Collective safe and sane. I'd like to thank all the venues, bar people and everyone who helped us along the
journey. More tour photos up on my fbook page.
¡Muchisimas gracias a todos!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Tim Stutts (aka Lordx) for
putting together a tasty remix of Gesture, taken from my new album Red Balance. You can check out the rest of
Lordx's tunes up on Soundcloud. Cheers Tim!
¨Red is the heart, and unlike the head as it knows no balance¨
On the 22nd of July 2011, Australian born multi-instrumentalist/composer Anna Morley will self-release the much anticipated second album entitled Red Balance. To be held at Inusual Project, Barcelona and followed by a promotional tour of Spain supported by Irish singer/songstress Ciara Carruthers. The launch will showcase Anna's new material accompanied by visual projections and a premiere video-clip screening by Portuguese stop-motion animator, Tiago Margaca.
With almost 20 years of performance experience, on stage Anna effortlessly executes and blends together an eclectic gamut of instrumentation including the vibraphone, and strives to deliver her music to international audiences through licensing, touring and collaborative opportunities. Anna's work has been described as ¨a wonderful exploration of contemporary music, which challenges the listener to look beyond the standard "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo" format¨.
After the success of Morley's debut release Character, Anna reunites with UK based producer Alex Forster to create Red Balance- a fresh collection of electro-acoustic elements, incorporating a broad tapestry of live and electronic textures. Morley and Forster collaborated on the album over a period of almost 2 years between Barcelona and London to form a unique blend of new sounds, making Red Balance in a class of it's own.
Anna Morley Collective invites you to participate in the album launch at Inusual Project, C/Paloma 5, Barcelona on the 22nd of July 2011 at 9.30pm. The show is open to the public and entry is 3 euros. Limited edition copies of Red Balance will be available.
............................................
El 22 de julio, la instrumentalista / compositora australiana Anna Morley estrenará su tan esperado segundo álbum titulado Red Balance, en un acto que se celebrará en Inusual Project, Barcelona; seguido por una gira promocional por España con el apoyo de la cantautora irlandesa Ciara Carruthers. El lanzamiento incluirá los nuevos temas de Anna acompañados de proyecciones fotográficas y del estreno de su primer vídeo-clip de animación stop-motion, a cargo de el portugués Tiago Margaca.
Con casi 20 años de experiencia sobre el escenario, Anna ejecuta y combina a la perfección una gama ecléctica de instrumentos como el vibráfono. Su objetivo personal es compartir su obra musical con una audiencia internacional mediante una combinación de licencias, giras y colaboraciones. El trabajo de Anna ha sido descrito como ¨una maravillosa exploración de la música contemporánea que desafía al oyente a mirar más allá del canon formulaico "verso-estribillo-verso-estribillo-solo".
Tras el éxito de su álbum debut Character, Anna ha colaborado con el productor Alex Forster (UK) para concebir Red Balance mediante una combinación de elementos electro-acústicos y la incorporación de una gama de texturas electrónicas y extraídas del directo. Morley y Forster han trabajado durante un período de casi dos años repartidos entre Barcelona y Londres, para formar una mezcla única de sonidos innovadores y configurar Red Balance como algo aparte en la escena musical.
Anna Morley Collective te invita a participar en el presentación del álbum en Inusual Project, C / Paloma 5, Barcelona el 22 de julio de 2011 a las 21:30. La muestra está abierta al público y la entrada es 3 euros. Un número limitado de copias de Red Balance estará disponible.
