Visual artists have always been fascinated by bodies of water – rivers, waterfalls, the ocean. The turbulence and calm, movement and stillness, colours and different effects of light on water have all been the catalyst for many masterpieces. Composers too are guilty of being entranced by water and especially the sea. They have tried to recreate, in sound, some of the magic that they see and hear when looking out over the ocean, arriving on an island or travelling in a boat. This album is designed to be a journey in sound, illustrating how water has become a major aspect of inspiration. We visit islands, travel by boat - or imaginary ships - partake in swimming adventures, meet folk who live by the sea, go sailing on Sydney Harbour, take extended ocean journeys and finally after reaching an island of enchantment are lulled to sleep.
The cover painting "Coastal Kaleidoscope" c.2009 by Annie Georgeson.

A University of Western Sydney project this interesting CD is the third by Antoinetta in a collaboration with the composers who have been encouraged to write new pieces for this project. It consists of piano pieces which draw on such influences as Chinese bird song; stylistic characteristics of Chinese instruments on an Australian folk tune; impressions of Shanghai; a phrase from Yijing (l-ching); terracotta figures of a travelling orchestra on horseback; a Chinese nursery rhyme; the concept of Qi; a Hong Kong market early in the morning; a poem by Chinese poet Po Chu (772-846); the musics of the three cultures of Malaysia; and from a Chinese perspective, winter days and a funeral in Australia. Scores by the Wirripang composers- Diana Blom, Bruce Crossman and John Peterson are available online.

A major focus for them was to document their personal passions and areas of creative focuses: use of technology, particularly pre-recorded live electronics, the creative process, science as a metaphor for musical processes, chamber music incorporating the voice and experimental percussion techniques.

Music by Phillip Wilcher, Jeanell Carrigan, pianist
"Born out of this world I came into, the greater awareness of being within the Truth of Who I Am is that the Cycle of Life is a Circle of Love. I feel it is that I have come full circle and in so doing, I have realised my every dream as well as many a dream Life itself has in store for me. The experience of expressing myself through music and words has been simply beautiful! To that end in this world within a world without end, and without any sense of pretence had I held the child I once was in my arms but to become him again. Therefore, where it has been said that creativity has a child's heart have I chosen to open and close this CD with two sets of pieces composed for children: Playmates and Connor's Capers. End pages which house the landscape of a life, what unfolds between their varying states of innocence is every shade of Love imaginable, from "moon mystic cedars touched by a pearly light" to bedouins praying at night, all aspects of the one divine face when eyes first saw." Phillip Wilcher
This CD is dedicated to the memory of his late father, Leslie James Wilcher.
