A Deep Dive into Tomorrow Comes The Harvest’s Essence:
Jeff Mills passionately shares that the performances are akin to intimate conversations among musicians—expressed via rhythm, beats, and notes rather than mere words. The concerts are designed as intimate gatherings, emphasizing the bond and connectivity among the performers. Their belief? Artistic exposure enhances the musical outcome — as one art form feeds into another, paving the way for spiritual elevation. With a profound respect for art, they aim to mesh sound with visual aesthetics, promoting an evolution in perception.
The collaboration with renowned artist, Chris Ofili, exemplifies this approach. His painting “The Harvester”, a masterpiece from 2021, beautifully captures the concept behind “Tomorrow Comes The Harvest”. This amalgamation of visual art with music will be showcased in the Barbican Center performance, thanks to the combined efforts of Tate Gallery and Tate Etc. Magazine.
