Josten Myburgh: new composition for PQMC

In the concept of Australian composer and saxophonist Josten Myburgh, the sounds of a place, and at the same time tell stories about the places they have visited. His work begins with by asking what happens to places when they "move" with sound. Field recordings for this piece were taken in remote regions of Western Australia. Josten uses both "found" harmonies from the predominantly colonial Australian tradition and intervals from natural tunings and weaves these different logics together in poetic and slow-flowing compositions.
