My Life My Voice meets Tra La La Blip:Improvisation, electronic music and video performance and passion are truly the ingredients for Happiness. On Friday the 1st of July I had the privilege  of hosting a workshop that brought two inspirational musical forces together.

Tralala Blip from Lismore in NSW Australia are an amazing electronic ensemble led by Randolf Reiman. The groups participants have a range of disabilities but their performances as a premier electronic music ensemble have led them to open the prestigious Liquid Architecture Festival of Art and sound at Brisbane Powerhouse and be invited to tour Germany later this year.

The Down Syndrome Association of Queensland has had a long association with QUT and Sweetfreedom Inc when producing the award winning music video My Life My Voice. DSAQ Music therapist Kate Fletecher leads two choirs of DSAQ members on the north and south side of  Brisbane and is currently recording a CD of the  members own songs.
