The creative aesthetic behind this project is to have a strong intercultural focus featuring Asia-Pacific traditions of Korean samul nori drumming techniques, Filipino kulintang percussion, Japanese shakuhachi 'moment' aesthetic and East Asian string techniques (Korea, Japan, China) interacting with contemporary music. The trajectory from modern violin through to Chinese erhu and Korean kayageum techniques interacting within contemporary composition and cutting edge digital technology forms a thread behind this collection. The sound of Asia-Pacific gongs (Korea, China, Philippines) intersecting with modern percussion as an enlargement of the contemporary music tradition in performance and composition is another angle. Finally the use of the techniques of reed membrane and coloured breath from Western clarinet to Japanese shakuhachi exploring the 'single-note' aesthetic of East Asia within contemporary composition and improvisation also forms a focus.

A mahogany ship, relic or legend, is a thing to stir the imaginations of Australians. It was in 1846 that Captain John Mason of Port Fairy, Victoria, was riding his horse along a beach at Warrnambool, when he sighted a shipwreck. His written account of the incident has led to almost a hundred and fifty years of speculation over its origin and disappearance.

Nonna mi l'ha detto (Nanna told me so). The music builds on a theme suggestion nostalgia in the voice of a grandmother sharing her life story with her grandchild. The restatements of motivic material are like reminiscences. These give way to a dance section modelled on the calata from in early Renaissance Italian lute music. Here, as a coda to reminiscence, the calata implies the spontaneity of the child in taking Nonna's hand in a dance.
