Pacific Voyage

About

Performers Alexander Ivashkin (cello), Ora Barlow (percussion, ukulele, Taonga Puoro), Kim Halliday (guitar, ukulele) present a CD of semi-improvised tracks.

Paul Gauguin, the great French painter, often rested in Auckland, New Zealand, on his way to Tahiti in the early 20th Century. Pacific Voyage is an attempt to repeat Gauguin's voyage on a symbolic level, a hundred years later. Gauguin was one of the very first modern artists to explore relations between Non-western and Western traditions, between professional and intuitive art.
