[5] About his Vancouver Island commissioned work, Sonic Blue, Jason Nett says, "The piece is very up-tempo, very rhythmic, something you would find in blues-rock guitar today..."[6] One of his largest works is the opera "Legends," which was written for the Vancouver Island Symphony's Youth and Education concert series.
The show "tell[s] the story of the last 150 years on central Vancouver Island, including the contributions of First Nations, Chinese immigrants and Scottish and English coal miners.
[10] The show took place "in a dory floating between the two banks of the Glynmill Inn pond near where the stream empties into it," featuring keyboard, cello, percussion and voice.
Beyond the music was "a series of dancers moving to choreography arranged by Amy Andrews," "a theatrical element played out by local actor Jim Parsons" and supported by an "audio technician Louis McDonald and lighting guru Harry Tibbo.
