From a collection of piano solos by Dallas Gray written about the shipwrecks of the Wilderness Coast of Victoria.
Each ship is an exploration. A dive or a dream. A new discovery or a connection to the past.
Iron Crown was built in Williamstown Victoria for the Commonwealth Shipping Board. On the 4th of June 1942, the ship was torpedoed off Gabo Island by a Japanese submarine while carrying iron ore from Whyalla to Newcastle. 38 of 42 crew died and the few survivors were picked up out of the ocean by the SS Mulbera. The wreck was discovered by archeologists in April 2019 in 700 metres of water 100kms off the coast.
These almost heartbreakingly gentle felted piano compositions have the delicacy and loveliness of slow-falling snow. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
This elegantly composed chamber album from Ellen Tsai has a playful feel, almost like the soundtrack to a storybook. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2022
