Hender the Huntsman

Land of Agriculture

A tale inspired by creation stories and detailing how the City came into existence 4.5 billion years ago long before any other biological organism of the planet. The city belongs to that category of organisms that are crystalline structures. The piece is underlaid with a city soundscape and the sound of tree felling reminiscent of the loss of trees on Armada Way in Plymouth.
