Program Notes

The sun and water. There is something so simple, pure and constantly interesting about waves, and how light is transformed by water refraction. This piece is in two movements. The first one is from the beach in Mombasa (in Kenya) and the second is from Akagera National Park in Rwanda, a safari park with incredible birds and animal sounds on the lake overlooking Tanzania. Other bird sounds are recorded in our back yard in Kigali.
