From a Roar to a Whisper

A musical Suite in four movements inspired by the cave lion bones in Buxton Museum, Derbyshire, composed using data from ancient Cave Lion DNA. The music explores the movement, freedom and power of this now extinct animal.
Funded by Arts Council England and supported by Sound and Music via the Francis Chagrin award. The piece uses audio recordings made inside Foxhole cave and around High Wheeldon Hill and the National Trust kindly helped me to record the music in Foxhole Cave in the Peak District.
