CHOOSE YOUR OWN (SONIC) ADVENTURE. AGAIN.
Following the acclaimed 'performance installation' at Te Papa in 2023, Stroma return to play multiple, simultaneous performances of ambient, spatial music in the gorgeous gallery spaces of City Gallery Wellington. The centrepiece is a new work by Riki Gooch, Poutama, a work in four parts for improvising taonga puoro ensemble blending with the sounds of Stroma's musicians.
Also on the programme are meditative, hypnotic works by Salina Fisher, Hildur Guðnadóttir, John Luther Adams, Pauline Oliveros, Dai Fujikura, Salvatore Sciarrino, Felipe Lara, James Tenney, Jonathan Harvey, Alex Turley, Michael Norris, and, of course, John Cage.
Lasting two hours, you can come and go as you please. Have a drink at the bar, then wander around the spaces to experience the sound events. Follow the schedule, or see where your ear takes you.
