Domini Forster leads you through the dusk-lit corridors of her intricate song-stories, each scene intimate and lovelorn as tea-stained lace. The Naarm-based songwriter recently came to national attention for her acclaimed duo collaboration with ARIA Award-winning artist Lior, and is now poised to release her second solo album The Lonely (out 20 June). The album is already turning heads, with the second single shortlisted for the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition and described by ABC’s David Astle as “a mesmerising, ethereal piece of music”.
10 items on your fantasy rider and why you’ve chosen each one (please be as wild as you like!)
- Manuka honey, lemon, ginger and fresh turmeric (what can I say, I’m a singer).
- A bottle of nice whiskey.
- A lighting rig and screen to facilitate shadow puppetry during the show! I’d love to collab with a brilliant shadow artist to create some interesting patterned visual accompaniments for the songs.
- A velvet napping couch: tour days can be LOOOOONG.
- Ok, if we’re gonna go crazy here: lino-cut materials. I’ve recently become obsessed with carving lino-cut designs and printing with coloured inks. I made these beautiful DIY notebooks as merch for my album and now I just wanna do it all the time. Carving the designs is very meditative so it’s the perfect post-soundcheck, pre-gig activity.
- Soft cheeses, crackers, berries and medjool dates. I’m a foodie, so even if I’m gonna sing I’ll take some of that triple cream brie 🙂
- White miso soup with spring onion and ginger for that pre-show tum.
- A band masseuse! How indulgent…
- On that note, maybe a bath with essential oils?! Or maybe I’m just describing a holiday? Haha.
- A cryptic crossword.
