about

Experience a different scale of space and time in this beautifully crafted digital album featuring stunning performances by Australian percussion icon Dr Michael Askill and Taiwanese Pipa virtuoso Jasmine Chen of original music by award-winning composer Dr Corrina Bonshek, and Bonshek / Askill.

This work is in two parts - I and II.

Laniakea I - Pipa, composed by Bonshek, showcases the dynamic energy and stillness of Chen’s playing alongside time-stretched versions of Bonshek's solo composition for Pipa, Desert Time, composed for Chen in 2016.

Laniakea II - Percussion, composed by Bonshek / Askill, features Askill’s powerful and sensitive performance on gongs and metallic percussion with a rich soundscape made up of timestretched and processed versions of percussion improvisations.

Bonshek imagines this electroacoustic soundscape as an aural evocation of our expanding galaxy. It is beautifully spatialised by Anna Whitaker.

Laniakea (lah•nee•ah•keh•ah) is a Hawaiian word that means "immeasurable heavens" and is the name Brent Tully gave to the galaxy supercluster that is home to our Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies.

This work was created in 2019 as an immersive, live music installation with digital dance film by Daniel Belton and Good Company Arts (New Zealand) with support from HOTA Home of Arts and the City of Gold Coast through HOTA’s Creative Development Program 2019, Creative New Zealand and The Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and the City of Gold Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
