The Sun will expand, doubling in size and power, allowing the rays to reach the farthest corners of the Solar System. This work follows Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, and a moon of frozen ice mountains. youtu.be/uGRxypoycMI?...

This was a huge undertaking of a work occupying 40 mins of the 2 hours + 20 minutes of music I wrote last year! It has a huge range of colour not in the least because of all the fun I had with the percussion.... youtu.be/uGRxypoycMI?...
