about

A musical trip around the old port of Echuca, the Barmah Forest and the Murray River, located on the border between Victoria and NSW, Australia. Originally a ‘tourist’ CD made in 1999.

The music is based on the sounds of nature, of people, paddle steamers and the town.

We use environmental sounds as musical instruments’ and add the sounds of flutes, percussion, strings, guitars, banjo, oboe, bells, gongs, didj., horns and voices .. plus several especially created synthesiser instruments to compliment the ‘found’ sounds.

These pieces are ‘sound pictures’ .. paintings made with sounds.

The sun shines, the rain falls, the birds wake in the morning. the moon rises, the earth continues its life while we, its temporary inhabitants, play and sing - with varying degrees of awareness upon its surface.
