A suite of intergalactic music inspired by the Hyperion series
In the epic novel series Hyperion the protagonists; an android, a resourceful human, and a 12 year old girl traverse distant worlds while being pursued by a militant religious empire, and observed by a futuristic terror machine called The Shrike. Each world they travel to is unique. These strange worlds and characters are the inspiration for this suite of instrumental acoustic music by pianist Ben Wilcock. Joining him onstage are John Rae (drums), Tristan Carter (violin), and Dan Yeabsley (bass).
