About this Recording:

Walking Into a Force of Nature is an immersive instrumental composition by Australian composer Justin James. A steady, metronomic drum pulse provides the foundation while organ, strings and piano move above and around it, creating an intricate landscape of rhythm, harmony and sound.

Layered eleventh and thirteenth harmonies add depth and tension, producing the sense of a world unfolding within another world. Composed in 2002, the piece explores the rush of thoughts and emotions that can gather beneath the surface before stirring us into action.

A Note from Justin:

Walking Into a Force of Nature is about the wash of thoughts and emotions that stirs us into action. Often, that energy moves behind the words - and even behind the music.

The metronomic pulse of the drums is eclipsed by the movement of the organ, strings and piano, together with layered eleventh and thirteenth harmonies. Sonically and imaginatively, this creates a world within a world. The piece explores perception, imagination and the reality we create within ourselves.
