David Lumsdaine's work is mostly rooted in Australia where he was born though he now lives in the UK. This unique and intriguing set includes pieces for a variety of instruments (not all are vocal) a number of which relate to the Australian landscape and the sounds of its unique wildlife - which are also captured in live 'outback' recordings demonstrating the voices of the birds and creatures which inspired some of the works.

The music itself is most approachable and well written. Definitely an important addition to the modern music repertoire.

Gramophone Magazine

June 2011

“this superb anthology reveal what a false dichotomy the whole field recording/"conventional" composition debate can be. Lumsdaine's soundscapes are as concerned with inner dialogues, counterpoint and structure as anything he commits to manuscript paper...These performances...prove deeply sensitive to Lumsdaine's needs, with a special nod going to pianist Peter Lawson for negotiating Cambewarra's secret labyrinths with such clarity”
