Cross-Cultural Music by Australian Women Composers

Original music by Ros Bandt, Brigid Burke, Dang Kim Hien, Anne Norman, Catherine Schieve

 

Review by Warren Burt Sonic Gallery, SG0901

CHIKA Soundtrack

The music for CHIKA was composed by Thomas Fitzgerald, with one exquisite work, the Koto Solo by Satsuki Odamura. This unusual collaboration of instruments featuring koto, shakuhachi, wadaiko, acoustic and electric violin and keyboards, blends live music and pre recorded acoustic and electronic sounds with a unique result. It is the sum of these myriad combinations of a surreal reality that have become CHIKA's musical world.
