INNER VOICES
FLAVORS OF CONTEMPORARY ETHNIC MALAYSIAN MUSIC
Unity Through Music
Inner Voices heralds the beginning of a fresh new experience in the movement of contemporary Malaysian Music.
Uniquely, Malaysia is one of the best known countries worldwide that boasts the success of multi-culture, ethnic and integration, with communities living, laughing and prospering together. The success is built on an intricate blend of patience and understanding which developed among the people after a long process of assimilation over the years - from interracial marriages, fusion of culinary experiences, educational exposure and even cross celebration of religious events.
On the musical front however, harmonisation of what we will term as the 'Malaysian Music' is still in its infant stage of evolution. It is observed till today that various elements of local cultures and its musical elements are by and large segregated individually to its traditional cultural forms.
Inner Voices will bring the essence of the music combining four of the main cultures present in Malaysia, bringing together Western and traditional Malaysian instruments, to showcase and highlight the beauty of harmonising of these elements, creating a fusion that will possibly evolves into a whole new sound.
