This week we travel to canada’s west coast to meet two of the members of a unique trio.
ListenThey call themselves the Orchid Ensemble. Their music is heavily inspired by Asia, but with touches of western influence blended in.
All of the members are conservatory trained in their respective instruments, they perform contemporary compositions created by a number of composers. They also make use of multi-media, dance and scenographic installation, in their live presentations.
The Juno nominated group has released their second album Life Death Tears Dream…and as percussionist Jonathon Bernard says, it seems the members have lived those emotions and more as a group. This week we hear from founder Lan Tung, and percussionist Jonathan Bernard as they talk about their music.
I also have one copy of the CD to give away as well. email me and include your full postal address.
I hope you enjoy this week’s conversation. Of course I appreciate hearing your comments as well.
cheers
Marc
