Exclusive Australian Distribution by Future Music
A mysterious and ritualistic dance summons powers of earth and sky in this mystic procession. Dour crashes of tam-tam (thirteen crashes, so now you have a musical reason to get an even bigger tam-tam) lend the music an other-worldly spirit. This is a great work, sounding like a paean to the volcano gods. Includes an analysis by John Darling, who makes reference to its "vastly more interesting soundscape than is usual for this level." This is a work in which - don't be surprised - the audience will lean forward.
