Ephemera presents a special show for Riverside Theatres to coincide with Perseid Meteor Shower, an event that occurs once a year in July - The shower happens as Earth passes through debris left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle
Ephemera: Space Jazz. A musical exploration of celestial landscapes such as pulsars, craters, planetary atmospheres, stars, sun and void. Merging the sound worlds of jazz and contemporary classical, and set to real space sounds and projections, it is a unique experience. The ensemble is led by Keyna Wilkins (compositions/piano/flute) with Elsen Price (double bass/loop pedal) and Will Gilbert (trumpet) and includes freely improvised pieces. NASA recordings of electromagnetic waves from planets and stars is the backdrop soundtrack and has been compiled by astronomer Professor Paul Francis with projections of space probe footage. Each member brings their own unique voice to the ensemble drawing from a multitude of musical backgrounds who combine to create a distinctive sound world that organically react to stellar concepts. Universe and Universality.
Post-show Q&A
Following the performance of Ephemera Trio Meteor Orbit there will be a Post-show Q&A with Professor Paul Francis, Astronomer and Australian National University Educator.
