about

Programme Note:
This piece is based around sounds from a sculpture by the artist, comprised of bamboo chimes hanging in Owen St Park, Newtown.

"The Chimes were hung in a way to represent the eyes of Tāwhirimātea (Māori god of wind). The sculpture is a tribute to Matariki and the wind that Wellington is so famous for. Each chime clackers as the wind blows, and these sounds correspond with the sparkling of the Matariki constellation above, Tāwhirimātea’s eyes.

"All of the sounds were recorded at the site on a ZOOM. The chimes were recorded along with other environmental sounds. I also took along a Deluge (battery powered synthesizer) and improvised some stuff to accompany the natural sounds. All things recorded that day were inspired by the elements and energies of the site."
