The soundscape  was recorded onsite at the Princess Royal Fortress, Albany, WA and is inspired by the relationship to the personal, military and world history. The combination of sound elements include the wind blowing through the flagstaff,  the peace bell of Hiroshima, a drum beat tapped out on a Fortress armament and the tuba recorded from within the chimneys of Warrant Officers House ruins.
