Australian bushfire : violin and piano / Rosalind Carlson

Composer Rosalind Carlson writes about her 2002 duo work Australian bushfire for violin and piano:

'This music is somewhat volatile, for I am tracing the course of the bushfire from its inception in the distance to its devastating damage as it passes in fury. Then the crying of the land once the fire passes, and the future renewal of the bush that will follow in time, with the regrowth of new shoots.

'As a child our family lived in the bush. Each summer I witnessed bushfires at close range. It was one of the most dramatic happenings in my young life. The smell of the fire would first alert us... '

Hundreds of CDs

AMC Shop makes available hundreds of recordings from Australian boutique record labels such as Tall Poppies, Move Records and Rufus Records.

TWO STEP / an improvisatory work by Cathy Milliken and friends

Recorded in Berlin, Brisbane and Tev Aviv, this is a truly international recording. Composer Cathy Milliken recorded improvised duets with each musician and then took these recordings into a studio where she created a long musical narrative from the duet resources. The composer says, 'Gertrude Stein was inspired by the cubist painters, layering repeating images, to create a sort of three-dimensional imagery. It has a type of mesmerising effect that goes beyond the words. I was interested in seeing whether the texts stand out or merge with the music; I feel they do both.'
