Boundless - Nikk Kourmouzis - 31:47
From Nikk's Personal collection comes a previously unreleased version of "Boundless". This original full length version incorporates extracts of Duncan King-Smith's recording "Bird Songs & Night Calls" (recorded and arranged by Duncan King-Smith) © 1990. These sounds were recorded within the
Nullumbik Shire, off Butterman's Track - Victoria, Australia, during 1988 - 1990.
The "Bird Songs & Night Calls" recording originally formed part of an Oral History/Soundscape project for the former Shire of Eltham's Community Arts Programme. Also recorded is a single bout of singing by a lyrebird, at first light on a still winter's morning in Jehosophat Gully, Kinglake, Australia.
At this time of year, when few other birds are calling, the lyrebird plays back his own memory of the sounds from the bush around him.
With kind permission to use the "Bird Songs & Night Calls" recording, Nikk composed a live improvised, unedited, continuous solo keyboard track which accompanies the majestic sounds of the natural environment. This recording was a personal project of Nikk's, recorded at La Trobe University's Music Department.
Special thanks to Duncan King-Smith for the use of his "Bird Songs & Night Calls" recording.
