‘Cloud Magic’, my first ever piece for Wind Symphony, was inspired by many mornings bathing in the sunrise on the edge of North Bondi cliffs in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, and a lifelong admiration of clouds. This piece explores the interplay between light and cloud, and paints in sound my impressions of the powerful energy and transformational magic that ignites when light and cloud meet. I am eternally grateful for the nature that surrounds me - a constant source of inspiration and calibration.
May we all be delighted and awed by the magic of clouds.
