Exotic, evocative and mysterious, the didgeridoo plays a main role within the composition , the driving pulse and the haunting vocals of Shannon Ruska singing in Aboriginal language makes for a uniquely Australian flavoured master piece.

Butterflies depicts a smooth latin rhytms influenced composition taking the listener through a variety of moods, instrumentation and tempo's.
You've been on my back, featuring a vocal track in pop genre.
Only life borders on a contemporary classical ballad yet has a very modern jazzy overtone and driving pulse.
Signs again is an epic piece , jazzy by nature yet ending in a rocky kind of pulse accompanied by the didgeridoo. Deep Excavation is designed to take the listener on an epic journey , expect the unexpected.
