Dictaphone recording of the premiere of ‘Burning Water’ by the Southbank Brass Ensemble at BMW Edge. Conducted by Russell Davis.

Recording of the premiere of Red Tree.Red Earth.Red Water by the Yarra Trio at Melba Hall in 2008.

Program note:

Red Tree . Red Earth . Red Water is one of a group of compositions
concerned with the idea of stillness and the attempt to arrest time in
what is essentially a temporal medium. This is my first foray into the
piano trio genre and also serves as a preliminary exploration of the
timbral palette which can be drawn from this particular group of
instruments. The title of this piece is not intended to communicate a
specific narrative or image, but rather exists as a point of reference
from which the listener may experience the music.

This is a recording I made using my little dictaphone at the VCAM Soundout concert, the recording comes up surprisingly well, and the music’s not half bad either.
