★ BACKGROUND ★
The Power Of Unity: Zodiac Story was commissioned by Defying Gravity Percussion and its director Tim White OAM, premiering live at Defying Gravity's Dream Garden series of concerts. The Power Of Unity is a percussion sextet that uses programmatic-style to depict the ancient folk story of the origin of the Chinese zodiac calendar and its animals. Colloquially referred to as 'The Great Race', the story details a running race of animals hosted by the Jade Emperor to determine the order of the animals on the calendar.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for listening to my brand new solo marimba + percussion quintet 'The Power Of Unity: Zodiac Story' - I've never written any chamber ensemble work that has more than 3 players, so this is new territory for me haha. Thank you once again to Defying Gravity Percussion and Tim White OAM for getting me to write for them and perform as their soloist :)
Big thank you again to Joey Eng ( instagram.com/jewy.photo ) for this amazing video and audio quality - I'm also not used to seeing myself being recorded by others professionally!
More releases coming soon, including 'TEN' (multi percussion solo), 'Song From The Heart' (massed marimba chorale) and 'Joy' (4.3 octave marimba solo for Marimbafest 2024) - stay tuned!
