Fractures and Faults is a long-form piece using sounds from a natural artesian spring within the Great Artesian Basin aquifers, Australia. This composition uses field recordings from a series of hydrophones placed within the natural spring where the groundwater seeks fractures of faults and folds in the Great Artesian Basin. Hear the underground turmoil as the pressurized water forces its way through the Fracture Zone, rises to the surface, escapes the discharge vent and flows towards the wetland.

The Great Artesian Basin is a groundwater system resource that covers four states of Australia, over 1.7 million square kilometres. This groundwater system is a vital resource. Many parts of the country have surface water of limited supply or of poor quality. Agriculture, irrigation and industry account for over half the use of this groundwater. Mining and petroleum production industries located within the arid areas of Australia rely solely on groundwater and mainly use resources that are not renewable. Natural ecosystems, including native flora and fauna, depend on this groundwater, often as their only water source. The Great Artesian Basin also has cultural significance for the Aboriginal people for their Creation stories as well as vital water sources, especially in times of drought.

For an optimum listening experience, headphones are recommended.

From my 2nd Album  'Five Sonatas', Album no. 2 in my Drum music or Dm series, consisting of Five Sonatas for Solo Drum, The term sonata here referes to adisplay piece in which I feel I have added something to my understanding of Drum Technique. The prefix Number Rh P12, referes to the Rh catalogue of my Works, of which a few, the P or pre numbers, predate the first catalogue entry, as at that time these first 2 albums were under my old percussionist stage name of Perpetuum mobile.
