About

Holocene explores the interplay between multiple tiers of sound while creating a detailed tapestry of sonic nuance that is intricate, earthy and mysterious.

Hear the influence of time in the shimmering resonance of bowed and struck cymbals and vocalisation.

Genre: Classical contemporary.

This event includes two performances of the same work and a short interview with the creative team in between the two, enabling audiences to experience the second performance with greater insight into the creative process.
