With this event, Titan will see its temperature rise and its ice will melt and form some of the last oceans of our Solar System. The parallels of rising temperatures causing our own glaciers and ice mountains to melt are striking and powerful. youtu.be/uGRxypoycMI?...

The Sun will expand, doubling in size and power, allowing the rays to reach the farthest corners of the Solar System. This work follows Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, and a moon of frozen ice mountains. youtu.be/uGRxypoycMI?...

This was a huge undertaking of a work occupying 40 mins of the 2 hours + 20 minutes of music I wrote last year! It has a huge range of colour not in the least because of all the fun I had with the percussion.... youtu.be/uGRxypoycMI?...
