Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Work Overview

This piece is deeply personal, a reflection and meditation on place, a feeling of home, and groundedness. It was written in a home that has long been considered a haven, held for almost 30 years. This home has held the various tides of a life, the seasons of being, and the sunsets and sunrises of many chapters.

The music uses the sounds that live there: the song of the native birds in the area, the ocean lapping at the coastal edge, and the wind moving gently between the palm branches. Seaview St is a homage to the place that holds the heart.

Through the quartet of two pianos, guitar, and cello, it speaks of calm, groundedness, and peace, offering a quiet space to sit with the feeling of home and the sense of being held by place.
