Sometimes the Signal Jumps
Through original music, Sometimes the Signal Jumps creates a journey uncovering the pleasure, joy and difficulties of life, and a celebration of the richness of lives fully lived.

Background

In 2019, as part of The National Neighbourhood, I collaborated with the Bluebell Community Development Project to musically explore life and the richness of lives fully lived.

For many years the Bluebell Community Development Project have hosted a weekly breakfast for residents of Bluebell Estate every Friday. These generous gatherings connect people right across their community.

It was performed in 2019 by The National Symphony Orchestra and the Bluebell Community Development Project.

“Sometimes the Signal Jumps” at the National Concert Hall

“Millar observes people often ‘see what I do, or other artists, as bringing culture into a community. I have found it to be the opposite. I come in and I learn and see things differently. We are musically trying to show that everybody’s life is epic.”

“Nobody is quite sure who said it first, but several people echo: ‘Everybody’s life deserves an orchestra.’”
