Hi
As a newcomer to this site, I hope my link works :-)
This piece 'Salt pan' is a choral work I wrote for the 'Australian Soundscapes' project in 2009 (developed by the Lumina Vocal Ensemble), setting a poem I wrote in 2006 (before the 'Apology to Indigenous Australians'). It is inspired by ideas of reconciliation and includes photos of South Australia's gorgeous Kangaroo Island.

This story includes the shifting sands of unrest - how can we presume to know what is needed to heal centuries of hurts? There is certainly no simple solution.
When it comes to writing music, the human voice is my real love. It can be so many things, including evocative and passionate.
