Japanese post-minimalist composer Mamoru Fujieda has spent 26 years creating music based on the electrical activity of living plants. The result is his magnum opus, an ongoing series of compositions titled Patterns of Plants.The latest collection of Patterns of Plants is premiered in September by an ensemble of musicians from Melbourne, Sydney and Tokyo. Brought together for this project in the Astra concert series, the group is led is led by virtuoso players Miyama McQueen-Tokita (koto) and Laura Vaughan (viola da gamba).Fujieda has chosen this unique combination of instrumental colours to conjure the sensuous and evocative musical universe of his work, heard in the intimate and resonant surroundings of The Eleventh Hour Theatre.Complementing Fujieda’s new work are early-baroque works specially arranged for the ensemble.
