«Remembering Boat Trips»

Seven Mile Bridge. The sounds, waves and vibrations of the water and the wind, of plants, animals and people are transformed into the seven pieces of music composed by Dominique Starck, enriched by the specially created instrumental sounds and bass melodies of Steven Parry, who also works on the arrangements and as a sound engineer.

The album invites you to chill out, meditate and contemplate.
The indigenous tribes of this region say: "The birds also celebrate festivals and make music. The river and the wind that blows through the mangroves also make music".
