From these stories, a composition.
Inspired by the edition of . An original theme in B-flat major rises, pauses and finds an answer. The piano offers steady footholds with the repaired bank of the Turbone stream in Montelupo in mind. In the development, small entries pass the motif between them: an editorial image of work newly begun by the Sungai Lestari programme in Bali, not of results already achieved. The flute then opens its range in dialogue with the African images taken by Juice during its 28 September flyby and published on 16 October. Bells and light percussion mark departures and returns. Introduction, varied exposition, development, reprise and coda last two minutes. The music interprets three news stories; it does not turn data into sound or certify environmental outcomes.
- Montelupo repairs the Turbone bank damaged by severe weather
- Bali launches Sungai Lestari to stop plastic before it reaches the sea
- Juice looks across Africa on its journey to Jupiter
