For two pianos
"Cloudcatcher" is one of the translations of "Wollumbin", the indigenous name for the Northern NSW volcanic-plug mountain that in 1770 James Cook named "Mount Warning". Wollumbin is a sacred Aboriginal site, said to be at the intersection of many songlines. The first movement of Cloudcatcher I, "Flight", responds to the clouds and birds that move over and around Wollumbin. The second, "Meditation" contemplates the imposing presence of the mountain. The third, "Vibration", imagines its physical and spiritual energies, past and present. And the fourth," Birdsong", is a meditation on the calls of some birds common to the area.
