Percussionist Zac Pulak and pianist Edana Higham, the two members of the duo SHHH!! Ensemble, have carved a space for themselves as compelling performers and commissioners of electrifying new music. The music of Meanwhile is visceral and colorful, exploring a wide range of percussion instruments, including piano, prepared piano, marimba, vibraphone, crotales, cymbals, gongs and bells, tom-toms, timpani, and more. Meanwhile is a celebration of big, bold sonority and is the result of four years of collaborations with some of Canada’s most creative voices, such as Jocelyn Morlock, Kelly-Marie Murphy et John Beckwith.
