Chika Soundtrack
Chika Soundtrack
CHIKA Adelaide CD Launch
26th September 9pm, Foyer,
Dunstan Playhouse,

Dedicated to Chika Honda
The Chika Soundtrack features a vocal track by Yumi Umiumare
The music for CHIKA was composed by Thomas Fitzgerald, with one exquisite work, the Koto Solo composed by Satsuki Odamura. Satsuki also gave virtuosic advice throughout on the magical nuances of Japanese music.
The unusual collaboration of instruments featuring Satsuki Odamura on koto and bass koto, Anne Norman’s shakuhachi, Toshinori Sakamoto's wadaiko and Thomas Fitzgerald playing acoustic and electric violin and keyboards, blends live music and pre recorded acoustic and electronic sounds with a unique result. Some sequences involve extensive improvisation, other works are traditionally notated and interpreted in a more defined way, especially when combining with electronic sounds. It is the sum of these myriad combinations of a surreal reality that have become CHIKA's musical world.
