Summer Sounds Festival Identity

In 2017, Four Winds hosted a boutique mini-festival, Summer Sounds, to celebrate traditional and contemporary music in the beautiful surrounds of its stunning site near Bermagui, on the South Coast of New South Wales. For one day only, fresh voices representing emerging sounds from our own backyard shared the stage with international visiting artists in an all day celebration of rhythms that coincides with the peak of Bermagui’s high holiday season. The one-off program, curated by producer Frank Madrid, drew together a variety of music ranging from Surf Rock, Pop, Traditional and Indie Folk, Blues, Tango, Samba, Americana, Reggae, Alternative Country to African rhythms with a sophistication and sensitivity that encapsulates Four Winds’ vision of celebrating music in nature. I was commissioned to create the festival’s identity that would communicate the unique feeling of the festival site, along with the summery, rhythmic sounds and vibes of the day.
