6. Dragon Dreaming
A shakuhachi, violin (Anja), field recording (David Matthews)

On the north-east tip of Arnhem Land, where Macassans and Yolngu once traded, David Matthews recorded ocean swells surging in and out of air-filled caverns, pushing air through tiny nostrils in the bauxite. He called it “Breathing Planet.” When amplified within the long tunnel, it sounds like a huge dragon asleep in its lair. Joining the dragon, Anne plays a traditional Zen meditation, Tamuke (Offering), accompanied by Anja’s violin. We respectfully acknowledge the Yolngu people for allowing David to explore that stretch of coast. This is our humble Offering in return.
