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).
