The world premiere of the new video version from Starvoice "Light-Star-Fantasy" (composition: Yoshié Ichige) will take place on 25 October 2000 in the music- metropolis Vienna, in the Oberlaa Kurhalle.
This musical fantasy embarks on an interstellar voyage and features the cosmicpaintings of leading Czech artist Zdenek Hajny. In this presentation his works are transformed into a glittering experience by the latest video animation techniques.
In contrast to movies like "Star Wars" with a dramatic, heavily loaded plot, such as scenes depicting war, Starvoice values inner peace and harmony, through portraying beautiful songs. Through its purity "Starvoice" can serve as an energy source which makes inner harmony possible.
One of the few Japanese female composers whose works can also be experienced in performance in Europe is Yoshié Ichige. The "wunderkind composer" (quotation from a daily Austrian newspaper, 1988), has performed her compositions world wide with great success. The first presentation of Starvoice "Light-Star-Fantasy" took place in Prague in 1995 where it was received with great acclaim. It is a total work of art incorporating music, painting, literature (poetry and legends), astronomy and technology (computer video animation, 16:9 cinema-size). The astrophysics consultant to the production is Prof. Dr. Gerhard Boerner from Munich. The Prague planetarium has also provided support by contributing astronomical images and advice on astronomy.
Starvoice "Light-Star-Fantasy" comprises 11 pieces of music (including "Universe", "In the Distance of Space", "Secret of the Universe", "Promenade of Stars", "Kaleidoscope", "Moon Princess", "Milky Way"). The Starvoice Studio has been working on the images for 5 years using computer-aide processing techniques to transform them into a highly effective animated format.
In this international charity event the composer Yoshié Ichige will sing the stars' songs live. Violin: Marek Obdrzalek. Organizer: Hannes Urban. picture: www.ots.apa.at Kontakt: Yoshié Ichige Am Muehlwasser 29 1220 Wien Tel: 285 79 42 Fax: 715 38 35 e-mail: starvoice@eunet.at
