Simon Barker x Hinano Fujisaki: Tymbal Echoes

Where
Phoenix Central Park
Phoenix Central Park
37-49 O’Connor Street, Chippendale NSW 2008
When

Tuesday 13 May from 7pm to 8pm

Tymbal Echoes emerged from thoughts about mesmeric experiences such as listening to cicadas and gurgling creeks, or sitting in front of a campfire. I find these sensory experiences that are rapid, changing, and highly granular sonically or visually a great source of inspiration when asking drumming questions.

Over the past year or so I’ve been thinking about these themes whilst creating new drumming materials that have ever-shifting levels of granularity and overlapping knottiness (in conjunction with the granular possibilities of the Lyra 8). It was a great pleasure to explore these thoughts, themes and materials with Hinano for this recording.
