Composer and percussionist Gareth Farr (b.1968) is one of the brightest young innovators on the New Zealand musical scene. His giddily festive Te Papa (Maori for ‘Our Place’) for vocalist, mezzo-soprano, tenor and orchestra serves up an exuberantly varied cultural and stylistic brew, and we also get two further versions of the same piece, the final ‘urenui mix’ being strongly influenced by contemporary dance music (shades here of Bristolians Roni Size and Massive Attack).'
