Tanderrum 2015 Finale (Balit Ngulu)

I was asked to compose a piece of music as part of the Wilin Centre spring intensive where a group from Lockhart River in Cape York came to exchange skills with local dancers. A piece had to be written, choreographed, rehearsed and performed in the week. This is the music I came up for it.
