Plays: 4408 Jiggs: 40 Description: The small village of Tyalgum is nestled in a spectacular landscape dominated by Wollumbin (Mt Warning) - the first place on the Australian mainland lit by the sun each day, and the core of an ancient, enormous volcano.
Commissioned by the village's wonderful music festival, I spent a week there composing and found my resistance to landscape-inspired music stood little chance against the inspiring forms around me. The piece is a kind of personal mythology in response to the land, ending with a reflection of the intense quiet I often experienced there.

Thanks Wildsoul - I have to admit I haven't heard Apocalytica yet, but will race to do so. Vanessa Mae, yes. I have a very early record of hers before the makeover - she was quite a nerd back then.

Indeed! I too thought it was something like apocalyptica... yet it also reminds me of something like vanessa mae in some points... but it really have some unique points!
Very nice song!

Thanks for sharing this most beautifully realized and wholly satisfying composition, Rob. This recording is a knockout performance to boot.

Listening to the first 20 seconds I almost thought it was an apocalyptica song.
