Product details
This CD presents one work by Colin Bright written especially for
his Syzygy Band, an ensemble of outstanding improvising
musicians. The score is published in the CD booklet, and this
allows a listener to follow the music and see where the music is
written out and where it becomes the reponsibility of the
ensemble members to improvise.
The music is inspired by the immensity of outer space, as Colin
Bright says: "Concepts of space set the mind spinning. The
incredible vastness. The minutest particles. No centre. No
boundary. No beginning. No end…? Music explores ideas that cannot
be put into words and that is what this piece attempts to do. To
set the imagination on fire - for the players and the listeners.
The performers have to achieve a sense of flow, to connect with
each other through the music, in conjunction and opposition.
Syzygy!"
Colin Bright is a Sydney-based Australian composer and musician
whose music reflects different aspects of being an Australian.
This is not the first time his music has been presented by Tall
Poppies. The cover of this CD addresses the theme of the music
with a magnificent photograph taken by David Malin at the
Australian Observatory.
