Tanya Ekanayaka’s ‘Twelve Piano Prisms’ extend the concept heard on her album ‘Reinventions: Rhapsodies for Piano.’ They correspond to the twelve primary notes of the keyboard, and combine Sri Lankan melodies with music from other countries in a deeply personal representation of diverse cultures; their style inspired not only by a rich heritage of Western classical and indigenous world music, but also by pop, rock and film music.
