about

Yolngu song-man Daniel Wilfred and one of Korea’s most sought-after jazz vocalists, Sunny Kim, sing of the stars, of fire, and of the cooling rain, against the floating trumpet notes and electronic crackles of multidisciplinary musician and trumpeter Peter Knight. Their effortless collaboration spans continents and cultures, expressing a deeply human commonality.
Wilfred sings in language and is the keeper of Yolngu manikay (songs) from North East Arnhem Land. These songs can be traced back over 40,000 years and is the oldest continuously practised music tradition in the world. Kim sings in English and Korean and intones wordless gestures that invoke raw elemental forces.
Their voices meld into the electronic atmosphere created by Knight (Artistic Director, Australian Art Orchestra) who draws on the minimalism of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell to create a bed for these beautifully contrasting voices.
