About
Pulse, judged best classical album in the 2002 Tui Awards, is Wellington composer Jack Body's exploration, through transcription, of music from a variety of countries including China, Bulgaria and Indonesia. "I believe musical composition should be the exploration of new worlds of aural sensibility. This is why I 'travel' a great deal, musically speaking, even when at home, by listening obsessively to recordings of the music of other cultures."
