New Maker Ensemble Tour
'I Transgress Borders and Boundaries'

‘I transgress borders and boundaries’ is an interdisciplinary concert that brings together musicians, composers, artists, researchers, scientists and philosophers in search of elemental histories. From stone to soil and ice to water, the concert delves into deep time transformations of one living planet and its more recent encounters with human forces. By sharing a voice with a multitude of life-forms, the programme seeks to tune in to matters that come to matter, and that simultaneously embody our past, present and future.

This concert is presented by Sara Rodrigues, Roxanna Albayati and Rodrigo B. Camacho.

Awarded 1st Prize in The Gladys Puttick IMPROVISATION  Competition 2019

Very happy and proud to announce that myself and my duo partner Kristjan Kannukene won the Gladys Puttick Improvisation Competition yesterday!

You can listen to our improvisation here, which was based on
"Orakei Korako", a poem by Andrew Ball. 

"This was a real journey...transcending the conventional use of instruments. There was an involving sense of ebb and flow. Highly charged, colourful and striking." - adjudicators' comments, Linda Hurst & Ian Mitchell
