Nickie Harte Kelly This music was composed by New Zealander Peter Hobbs to accompany a dance piece The music is ambient in nature, and reflects both nature itself and the spirit world. It’s comprised of modular synths, drums, trumpet, putorino, ocarina, and cello, and utilizes field recordings as well. It lures one into an enticingly surreal world that is hard to shake once the music is concluded. Favorite track: Te Ua Mokemoke.

about

The music on this album was composed in collaboration with choreographer Gabriel Thomas to accompany a dance piece by Atamira Dance Company. The instruments include modular synths, drums, trumpet, pūtōrino, ocarina, and cello fused with ambient field recordings from caves in the Waitakere Ranges.
TOMO transcends into a dream space of endless time as two wairua (spirits) cross between realms to enter the embracing arms of the long night.
