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.
Throughout the evening, surround yourself in meditative, hypnotic works by composers such as Salina Fisher, Hildur Guðnadóttir, John Luther Adams, Pauline Oliveros, Dai Fujikura, James Tenney, Jonathan Harvey, Alex Turley, Michael Norris, Salvatore Sciarrino and, of course, John Cage. 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.
