Product details

In 2019, environmentalist Bob Brown escorted my wife Janice and I on a five-day road tour of the Tarkine, which is known as Takayna by the First Nations custodians of this place. Toward Takayna is my musical response to this journey - a musical acknowledgement of this rich and delicate environment and perhaps a way for me to hold its enchanting beauty in my hand.

Additionally, Toward Takayna is informed by my long-term desire to write a work for my two dear friends Slava and Leonard Grigoryan. Some of the musical material for the work has been developed from 'Six Fish', and there is an allusion to 'Hinchinbrook Riffs' - a piece I composed for Slava - in the final movement.'
