“I have often wondered how globalisation effects music and how history changes our perception of instruments and the musical culture of our ancestors,” says Fiona.
600 Years in a Moment was recorded using a contemporary Australian Stuart & Sons piano with ancient instruments from around the world to bring instruments and their unique sounds from villages across the globe and explore the hidden musical treasures of cultures in a modern musical setting.
‘600 Years In A Moment is a masterful mélange of superlative musical performance, stunning contemporary composition, and widely diversified cultural influences. Preceded by a string of award winning and critically acclaimed recordings, Fiona Joy Hawkins has outdone herself with this release and continues to set the bar ever higher in the unfolding of her creative potential’ Michael Diamond, Music and Media Focus
Fiona Joy recorded 600 Years in a Moment around the world from Newcastle Australia, Los Angeles California; New York, NY, Bremen and Portland, Maine; Halifax, Canada, and Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont, the album is also unique for the production credits that include Will Ackerman, Corin Nelsen and Fiona Joy.
