Topology with Hannah Cameron

Hannah is an amazing young singer-songwriter we worked with recently in a schools program at the Powerhouse. We had such fun. Here’s a home video of her performance of her lovely song. Our high-quality videos will be coming soon.

Spirit Dancing - Sun 9 November

Brisbane Powerhouse, 119 Lamington St, New Farm Brisbane
Concert starts at 6pm - book online or by phoning (07) 3358 8600 (Powertix).

Music has amazing power to take us outside ourselves. Topology plays music in this concert that is transcendent and ecstatic, including their own new pieces and some of the best music composed by UK legends Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman, and Australians like Ross Edwards.

The concert finds Topology exploring the meditative beauty of Gavin Bryar’s ritualistic music in The Old Tower of Löbenicht, a haunting and deeply moving work that Bryars dedicated to the memory of a friend killed in the 1988 Lockerbie air crash.

Excerpts:
Terry Riley, Salome’s Excellent Extension, part 2
Gavin Bryars, The Old Tower of Löbenicht
Michael Nyman, Shaping the Curve

About some of the music:

Ross Edwards: White Cockatoo Spirit Dance (1998)
White Cockatoo Spirit Dance has all the characteristics of a maninya, one of Edwards’ Australian dance chants - a form he evolved throughout the 1980s which has left a definitive stamp on his own and much other recent Australian music.

Vibrant, captivating, life-affirming, and virtuosic, White Cockatoo Spirit Dance is a spontaneous melodic outpouring whose obsessive rhythms appear to have been ritualised from nature. (Edwards claims to have been influenced particularly by the sounds of insects).
