This unique project combines ambient sound recorded from the Yarra Ranges temperate rainforests (located in Australia) with original harp and violin music. 

It was produced for a creative study unit and is informed by research on Murray Schafer's sonic concepts, on the use of harp in music therapy and palliative care, and by many studies on the effectiveness of nature sounds (or nature exposure) on wellbeing and cognitive performance. 

My goal is to expand this concept into a full concept album or performance project, building each tonal idea into a longer track.

Harp, sound recording: Amy Earl
Violin: Malini Chidzey

Eight new compositions by Kelly Thoma rising from the depths of the ocean of music.
Influenced by various modal traditions, Kelly and eleven exceptional musicians interpret her compositions as well as improvise with virtuosity and sensitivity. 
Each composition is named after a specific fish and the last piece called "S", which reveals the movement of the fish, seeks to take the listener to the most profound recesses of his personal ocean.
