Utterly breathtaking, and thank you for writing such a beautiful harp part..

I love it. To me its kinda reminiscent of Jeremy Soule's work from the elder scrolls oblivion.

I loved this piece, it reminded me of the string arrangements of Peter Wright (circa 1967 with The Moody Blues's 'Days Of Future Passed').

This work was written as part of an engagement with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra for their 2014 Composition Project. For me, Efflorescence ('to flower out') is essentially about growth and decay - I was looking to open with simplicity and build complexity throughout the work, only to reach a peak and eventually die out to silence. In musical terms this piece represents an exploration of the different timbres that can be achieved when lines are blurred between different instruments, and when elements are layered upon one another. 

Premiered by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra on June 11, 2014. 

Recorded at ABC Studios, East Perth.
