Written to represent NSW at the Australian Society for Music Education's 2023 National Conference Young Composer Project. Reflecting the conference's theme of Music Unleashed, this work has no proper title, instead holding a placeholder to avoid composer-imposed imagery and meanings that titles can impose. This allows the focus of the work to be purely on the music. 

This work received its world premiere by Ensemble Offspring at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music on the 5th of July 2023.

Inspired by Australian summer alpine landscapes encountered while hiking in Kosciusko National Park in 2021.
