Product details
In the last two decades, the number of Australian composers who
created new works for Asian instruments has been growing
steadily. The availability of competent performers of Asian
instruments in Australia, and positive developments in cultural,
social, political and economic engagements between Australia and
Asia are the main stimuli for this new trend in Australian
composition. The varieties of tone colours, musical gestures and
technical possibilities of Asian instruments have enriched the
palette of Australian contemporary music.
From dan tranh to sheng, from shakuhachi to erhu, this
fascinating recording Scent of Time features nine
diverse works of Australian composers that have taken Asian
instruments and voices beyond the boundaries of their own
traditions.
Duration: 78 min.
Liner notes include programme notes and notes on the composers and performers.
Performers: Dang Kim Hien (voice, dan tranh (Vietnamese zither), Vietnamese percussion: Inside/outside) ; Ros Bandt (viola da gamba, recorder: Inside/outside) ; Julian Yu (voice: Chinese whispers) ; Marian Grey (voice: Chinese whispers).
