CD’s CURRENTLY AVAILABLE       

Big Mouse Kingdom

A$20.00 plus delivery
NEW RELEASE ! New songs and instrumentals and some old songs you may know from our live concerts. New arrangements played solo and with a small ensemble of my favourite musicians: percussionists Calvin Welch, Peter Kennard and Ron Reeves and flute and Taragoto player Paul Jarman. It's a different sound from the Great Bowing Company days, lighter, more fluid and more vocal.

Homelands

A$20.00 plus delivery
Homelands is a musical journey told through song and sweeping soundscapes. Predominantly Mouthbow and voice with Ron Reeves playing Gendung ( Indonesian Drums) and Calvin Welch playing Xylopt and drum kit plus some brief but superb Taragoto and flute cameos by Paul Jarman and Colin Offord.

Water into Stone

A$20.00 plus delivery
Recorded in the rich acoustics and natural beauty of Jenolan Caves. Conch shells, Thai mouth organ, double flutes, windpipes, moonbells, water and bird song tell the story of the formation of this extraordinary place over thousands of years.Primal, fragile, environmental music played in four different caves each with their own remarkable acoustics. This CD includes a 24 page book with beautiful photographs.

The Saldo

A$20.00 plus delivery
A new Great Bowing Company work, "The Saldo" is inspired by the Pacific environment, it's cultures and people. It is a suite of nine pieces reflecting on one the most beautiful and culturally rich regions on earth. It features Australasian flute, mouthbows and vocals by Colin and Aboriginal songman Matthew Doyle's powerful singing and didgeridu playing, a stunning rhythm section in Jamie Pattugalan, Naomi Vaughan and Calvin Welch

The North

A$20.00 plus delivery
Colin's score for William Yang's acclaimed theatre monologue. A lush musical painting of the Australian landscape. The music is imbued with a Chinese sensibility and interspersed with short poetic quotations from William's beautiful story of his search for identity and place in this world.
