This piece is a direct response to the 2009 Black Saturday bush fires that ravaged Victoria.

After The Fires

The bright, breezy, jazzy number is Invention in Time's shortest ever track! The title suggests something that might be ungainly slow, but has its own grace uptempo. This is the lead-out track on Falling by Design, Invention in Time's third album.

Fast Giraffe

Falling by Design is the title track from Invention in Time's third album. It features Kate Adam on marimba, Ariel Valent on vibraphone and special guest Helen Mountfort on cello. The vibraphone plays a simple melody. The piece is in rondo form, which means that this melody returns several times, but in between we get a lot of different musical journeys. It can be quite an emotional piece to play. Buy the piece on i-tunes or the CD at http://inventionintime.ecwid.com/simple-store


Falling By Design

Originally created as an underscore to a poem called "Stepping Stones to Eternity" by mystic poet Rosie Higgins, this was worked into a piece for marimba (Kate Adam) and vibraphone (Ariel Valent). On this recording, the duo is augmented with the subtle angel guitar played by Harry Williamson, who also engineered the recording. Most of this piece is a seven-count, one of Invention in Time's favourite time signatures. But certainly not all of it! This is a relaxing and gentle piece of music with an improvised vibraphone solo. This track appears on the Invention in Time album Falling by Design, which can found on i-tunes or purchased from http://inventionintime.ecwid.com/

Stepping Stones

A meditative piece of music, Dreams is perfect music for contemplating the cosmos

In this piece the marimba and vibraphone start off playing in unison and then diverge, with intricate melodies emerging between the two instruments. Added to this is a bansuri (North Indian flute) as played by Kate Adam. Improvised solos from both bansuri and vibraphone are features of this track.

Dreams

Anthony Halliday (solo organ) on the Organ of St. Francis' Church Melbourne. 8'28"

Durufle Suite Op. 5 - Toccata

"Memories of a Time to Come" is the second album by Melbourne marimba and vibraphone duo Invention in Time. Kate Adam and Ariel Valent have created original music that stimulate the mind and refresh the soul. A wonderful mix of classical, jazz and world music styles, these exciting sound sculptures are unique: distinctly Australian but nevertheless universal.
