Music Feature: Rhian Sheehan - composing soundscapes

From Afternoons, 2:22 pm on 19 May 2020

The music of Wellington-based composer, Rhian Sheehan was broadcast on his biggest stage yet last year, VOICES FOR THE FUTURE. For three nights on the eve of the 2019 Climate Action Summit, images of an iceberg by artist Joseph Michael were projected onto the UN Building in New York with Rhian's huge, ethereal soundscapes, and music by Brian Eno.  Rhian was on our Bookmarks segment a couple of years ago and today we hear some of the atmospheric electronic music he composes, which is featured in everything from planetariums to rollercoasters. Rhian's latest album is Recollections Vol.1, released April 24.
