Work Overview
Revised and adapted for concert hall from an original film sound track for the short film 'The Nest', directed by Em Cooper (2010). This version features the stunning poetry of Australian writer Tanya Kiermaier.
"...Through the bitterness of dark, the light
circles,
deep and silent as the universe.
while wind flaps and hums through snarls of kikuyu
whips round the children's graves
and flings itself out into the spreadeagled ocean..."
