Live performance at Mickey and Annie's Church, Castlemaine, 2024.
 

Since early 2024, I have been exploring a more intimate setting for my songs, playing electric guitar with effects and acoustic nylon guitar as a solo performer. I've also been working with a vocal looper, using cavernous reverbs to create walls of vocal layering over which to sing lyrics. Slowly, I'm adding soundscape and other elements to see where this can go as an immersive experience. My collages have been turned into animations by the wonderful artist and designer Anna Fraser, which are projected onto the stage while I'm performing.

…her voice, dark or bright, heartbreaking or stripped.

An album at once powerful, wild, intimate

(Rolling Stone, France) ****​​

It tears us,  

this famous tremor in her voice like butterflies that travel furiously in our guts,

as does the delicate vocals pierce us.

The stories told by Inga are beautifully poignant.

For me, when Inga sings, magic happens.

Excerpts from Live Performances in 2024
 

The following examples are of my concerts in 2024, mostly recorded on iPhone and are lo-fi. The first two are recorded at concerts at the Annandale arts centre, the first in January, is an example of using the vocal looper. The second video from a concert in June, shows examples of me on electric guitar and voice. Michael Bridges (violin) is a guest on two tracks.
