EPHEMERA
"Haunting, hypnotic, magical, transformative" Downtown Music Magazine New York
"Music of peculiar depth that somehow evades the laws of gravity" Sydney Morning Herald
Ephemera: 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 sonic experience. Ephemera was formed 9 years ago and have no performed in many major venues around Australia. We are now planning a tour of Japan with 6 concerts booked in Tokyo and Nara!The ensemble is led by Keyna Wilkins (piano/flute/compositions) 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 complied by astronomer Professor Paul Francis often 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.
