best known as the driving force behind anthemic ARIA Award and multiple APRA Award winning rock band Birds of Tokyo has announced his debut neo-classical album ‘Snow vs Mountain’.
In 2018 Spark found himself at the very bottom of the well. “I had to write my way into living”, Spark explains. “This project is the result of those writings. It literally saved my life and is designed to share my eventual realisation that living, even through pain, is well worth it. It’s a bit like surfing….ain’t no waves without the whitewater.”
‘Snow vs Mountain’ was created by Spark in Sydney, Byron Bay and London over almost three years. Working in collaboration with post rock prodigy Otto Wicks Green (sleepmakeswaves) and the legendary British arranger Audrey Riley, known for her string arrangements for the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, Muse, The Smiths and on the self-titled ‘Birds of Tokyo’ album, Spark found himself in London’s Assault and Battery studios with some of the UK’s most revered orchestral players from the West End to Hans Zimmer’s crew, bringing his compositions to life.
‘Snow vs Mountain’ is a meditation on survival. It’s an epic neo-classical composition driven by cinematic pianos, synthetic soundscapes and a chamber orchestra. It is music of hope, born out of dark times.
