Silverchair "OFFICIAL GROUP"

30 years ago

Sometimes art comes easy, sometimes it’s hard work but unless it’s honest, it’s not art. My visionary friend Scott Hicks has created a beautiful film about the artistic process and I’m honoured to be one of 4 artists featured. It’s called ‘The Musical Mind- A Portrait In Process’ Scott wanted to make a film that was the antithesis of click-bait tabloid bullshit. He wanted to put a camera in front of me and talk about art and nothing else. That’s one of the reasons I said yes to doing it. My dear friend David Helfgott was the other reason, he made magic happen on Emotion Sickness and I’m forever in awe of his genius. To my new friends Simon Tedeschi and actualbenfolds - you are both inspiring and it’s a privilege to share the screen with you both. The incredible movie poster art was done by loribellespirovski and I’m in love with it! This is a film for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the minds of creators, I think it’s powerful because we as humans are all imminently capable of creating art, all we need is a little inspiration. Perhaps ‘The Musical Mind’ might be that inspiration for you?
