Recently, I was commissioned to write a work for the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music’s Guitar Perspectives series, thanks to the generosity of Peter and Rasika Crowley.

Set in three movements, the work is a homage to the waters of Gippsland, in the Gunaikurnai nation. The musical material was initially generated from my solo bass practice, which was transcribed and transposed for the guitar. It was such a pleasure to develop the piece for, and with, guitarist Tom Stewart-Toner—who brought so much to the process. Also a big thanks to Ken Murray for his guidance. The score can be found at the Australian Music Centre.

Filmed and recorded by Leo Dale at WeFo studios.
