WORKSHOP
Work Śūnyāta for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Workshopped and recorded with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in July 2020. The piece draws on Goddess Mythology, in particular the Neolithic period, for it's inspiration. Beginning from our deep connection with the Earth since the beginning of time a bass drone builds and morphs timbrally into a climactic groan. The second workshop and recording will be on the 13th and 14th July 2021 in Tasmania. |
