Product Description

A cross-genre composition for piano, field recordings, and electronic soundscapes. A composition to resolve the story and dramatic tension. War is over, POW's have been rescued, peace has returned. The music offers an optimistic message. A new start for Mirla and Arthur; a new beginning for post-war Australia; and better relationships with Japan and the wider Pacific region in the hope of forming a lasting stability. The closing movement (a shift to Major G key) begins with two woozy piano refrains, which unify. Ambient textures include birdsong recorded at the graves of my grandparents and mother. Theres a slow unfurling of the majestic string arrangements that play above a gently rolling electronic rhythm. After the swelling strings and a burning crescendo the track ends with a poignant recording of Mirla in her old age, remembering the first moment she saw Arthur on his return from war. A solo violin plays-out a final farewell, a salute to multitudes affected by the violent acts of war. The violin fades and we are left with the timeless rhythm of ocean waves and eternal birdsong.
