Woohoo!
I'm thrilled that my new album Sinking Cities, performed by The Australian Voices, Camerata - Queensland's Chamber Orchestra, and I, with lyrics by Pearly Black, will be released by ABC Classic. This project explores concepts of erasing history and sinking cities, and was inspired by the ancient city of Hasankeyf in Turkey which was flooded for a dam major project. So much love and time has gone into this project and I am so happy with the stunning performances by the ensembles and the moving text by Pearly.
It is only a digital release but I am scheming and planning on printing a very limited run of physical books showcasing the powerful text alongside words from Pearly, Brendan Joyce, the Artistic Director of Camerata, and myself.

The world premiere performance of this work took place on Australian Digital Concert Hall on February 11, 2022.
Sinking Cities was made possible through the support of Arts Queensland’s First Night Showcase – Judith
Wright Arts Centre Fund, the PPCA and the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts,
its arts funding and advisory body.
