Concert Insights

Our audience is the forest. For some brief moments we will be the songman of the bush, we will play and talk to the trees and birds, we will listen to their words and wisdom and for some brief moments the Lyrebirds of this bush.

Gunai Kurnai

My original objective was to share with you music that comes alive in me when I stroll through the pathways of this forest. However, I felt curious about how others felt about this special part of Victoria. Thus, I wanted to understand how the Brataualung people felt about this old growth forest characteristic of a time when they were only present.

Wayne Thorpe, an elder of the GunaiKurnai people and was very humbled to hear how my values were similar to his people that have been living here for over 60000 years.

I then decided to incorporate in my compositions a story of the Brataualung people that would express the delicate balance of nature and how people could easily destroy it. I choose the the story of Woorayil and Tiddalik that has come to life with the valuable aid of Wayne Thorpe
