Global Composer Project 2 ‘Emocean’ follows the ground-breaking Global Composer Project 1 ‘Towards A Shining Light 50 for 50’ where 50 composers from 24 countries collaborated with trios in The Netherlands, Australia, and the USA to create, perform and record a chamber music collage featuring 50 one-minute composer self-portraits, scored for clarinet, viola and piano.
Project Emocean invited expressions of interest from composers around the world to collaborate with ensembles (soprano, clarinet, cello, piano) in Italy, Poland, Taiwan, Finland, and Australia to create a collage featuring 25 two-minute pieces exploring themes of love, happiness, grief or fear. The diversity of styles ranges from traditional/contemporary Classical and Film music to innovative jazz fusions, and experimental music.
All 25 miniatures will be performed and recorded as one continuous collage in ensembles’ home countries. During the performances, each miniature will be accompanied by a projected image of the theme it explores.
The aims of the Global Composer Projects are to:
– galvanize, invigorate, and share compositional practices in the international community
– showcase cultural and artistic diversity
– foster international collaborations between contemporary composers and performers
– provide an opportunity for emerging and less-known composers/performers to be heard
– provide an opportunity for established composers/performers to enrich and expand their international profile/portfolio
– establish an ongoing platform for the global community of composers and performers
– inspire local and international music creatives
– generate new chamber music works
