Music from the frontiers of sound and technology.
New Zealand music ensemble, Stroma, present music of two of the main 'Spectralist' composers—Kaija Saariaho and Tristan Murail—who are fascinated by the way in which sound is created, transmitted and broken down, and how this information can be used to create organic, immersive structures.
Around these two works are four other works that explore sound, colour and form, in many ways inspired by the Spectralist models, including works by Salvatore Sciarrino, Annea Lockwood, Luigi Ceccarelli and a new concerto for throatsinger and ensemble by Michael Norris.
