A DAY IN THE PETRICHOR: ZMI AND TOHRU FUJIMURA

Petrichor is more than a musical ensemble — here represented by pianist and composer zmi and and multi-instrumentalist and composer Tohru Fujimura — it is a theory of performance that distills the essence of our encounters with nature and small, everyday pleasures. Zmi’s boundless exuberance and delicate expressiveness is well known to Notional Space audiences, following her sold-out performance here last year. Her exquisite sensitivity is perfectly complimented by Tohru’s ability to convey the natural world in sound, not simply through mimicry, but through a deeply impressionistic musical intuition. While the ensemble’s third member, Saiko Shiiki, is unable to make the journey from Japan on this visit, her painting provides a vivid backdrop to the soundscape.
