Water, water, everywhere...

I've been travelling all over central and northern NSW for the last few months looking for some beautiful sounds of nature for my next meditation album. What a journey it has been - from the tranquility of the Myall Lakes and Lake Forbes, I have witnessed the transformation of many waterways into raging floodways. The common theme of my journey was water! Water has its own journey and it is a journey of peace, majesty and power. Most of my trip was spent checking weather forecasts and dodging inclement weather wherever possible, but I have collected some amazing sounds and I can see my next album reflecting the journey of water from the hills to the ocean. Many of the sounds are too powerful for a meditation album and I was feeling disappointed. Where would I find those beautiful relaxing sounds that were unadulterated by the sounds of humanity - cars, planes, generators, mowers... Ironically, I found the sounds I was looking for in South Australia, in the little hamlet where I lived as a child, and the final resting place for my parents. As I sat by the tree where we had scattered their ashes, I could feel their presence and was comforted in knowing that they rested to the sounds of a tiny brook with hundreds of birds cheerily serenading nearby! I sat for many hours recording this symphony.  Several days later I was hastily leaving South Australia as the State was about to experience one of the worst storm/flood events in decades. Returning home to more rain, I slipped and fell on wet cement, my injuries keeping me still for quite a while. The universe has sent me a very clear message: I must be still and start my new album - and I'm listening :-) I have started editing the sounds to remove clicks, pops, cars and other sundry undesirable sounds and in the process came across this gorgeous footage of Boundary Falls that I filmed on the Waterfall Way, very early in my journey. I've quickly put together some music and just had to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it and remember that although water can be intimidating and dangerous, it is foremostly life giving and a thing of great beauty.
