About
Nick Snowball addresses the dearth of New Zealand music suitable for release in celebration of Halloween with 'IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET', a musical-theatre work involving gore, mild bondage, Shatner flashbacks and cheque fraud that was presented at the 2018 Lilburn Trust New Zealand School of Music—Te Kōkī, Victoria University of Wellington Composers Competition.
Nick writes, "IT HASN’T HAPPENED YET is an experimental work of musical-theatre representing an abstraction of my singular experience with sleep paralysis. As the dreamer experiences modulating environments, they remain naive to impulse, yet exhibit effective response to the sensorial events around them. The creative environment aspires to provide performers with agency and collaborative voices; this relinquishment of authority enacts a statement on the notion of artistic competition."
