Rock Hopping (2012)

Rock Hopping was commissioned by the Hush Foundation for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. It was a privilege to be part of this project making music for children. I loved creating a soothing sound world and I hope it helps inspire a feeling of calm. Rock Hopping is for children, and one of the things my own children love to do is go rock hopping at the beach. It takes them to their own special world of castles and crabs, waves and water.
