The Creation Cycle AKA Balance & Harmony

(World/Meditation) 1999

My first commissioned album for the Disky/EMI label. I was asked to compose a set of 3 ‘Feng Shui’ themed albums. So I set about studying Chinese folk music for inspiration. Drawing on some of those traditional folk tunes and set up in my newly build Medium Moose Studios, I also had some great players on these albums including flautist extraordinaire, Paul Chenouer, fretless bassist, Grant Young, and Oboist, Suzie Butler. This was the beginning of a period when I composed a lot for this label and was fortunate to see these albums selling collectively in their millions.
