The Elements on ABC Classic FM

The Perspectives program on ABC Classic FM at 10:30pm on Saturday nights has been running a series called The Elements, each week looking at music inspired by the four elements of Nature. The last two Saturdays have been devoted to Water and Air and much interesting music has been played. I'm pleased that several tracks from my 4-CD set The Elements have been played by presenter Julie Howard in each program, last night the program closed with one of mine. The next two installments are Saturday Sep 18 (Earth) and Saturday Sep 25 (Fire). After the Water broadcast I received this email from a gentleman who lives in Canberra:
I heard "Water" at 10:30 p.m. Saturday 4th Sept on ABC Radio, while on my way home from seeing a local artist's series of paintings of water reeds in Captain's Flat NSW. The music fitted and enhanced my mood as I drove carefully home watching for 'Roos.

This happened at precisely the same time as I was having a wonderful experience performing for a live audience in Melbourne. He ordered a CD for himself and one for the artist and when he received them I got this message:

I received the CD's yesterday. I listened enraptured, and found myself in a
deep contemplative state. Thank you very much for transporting me there.

Quietly, stealthily we in the non-mainstream reach those whom we can touch.
