Watch Ruby with an 85-person choir
a very special performance of you should do this for a living, live on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country with the One More Chorus choir (conducted by The Maes), 75 humans strong. a very moving experience to be held by their voices, especially in this song about the tension of singing music as a public endeavour. i hope you are looking for community wherever you go.
Ruby Gill for NME: “I like to go to the end of the feeling.”
“Nobody deserves two pianos in an apartment in Melbourne,” she says with a dry laugh.: “I like to go to the end of the feeling.”
Quiet sounds and sharp songwriting collide on Ruby Gill’s debut album ‘I’m Gonna Die with This Frown On My Face’. She speaks to Doug Wallen at NME about the record, being present in life and being more vulnerable in her music.
“Until recently, Ruby Gill lived with two pianos. One was a traditional upright, in which she had sewn felt against the strings to dampen the noise, and one was a Japanese electric piano found at an op shop. But there wasn’t quite enough room for both, and in the end she parted with the upright.
“Nobody deserves two pianos in an apartment in Melbourne,” she says with a dry laugh.”
