Ensemble Offspring presents Children of Aurora, recorded at the Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House, on 22 November 2025. Louis Wishart – Children of Aurora (2025)* flute, clarinets, percussion, piano, double bass *World premiere Commissioned as part of the 2025 Hatched Composer Intensive "Children of Aurora, inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau and Cormac McCarthy, explores the overwhelming flatness of landscapes and the vanishing points where perception itself creates movement and detail. I drew on Thoreau’s reflections on the Ancient Egyptian “Colossi of Memnon,” statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that, after earthquake damage, emitted a melancholic moan at sunrise and were nicknamed Memnon, son of the dawn goddess "Aurora". The land we walk on retreats the more we approach, and macro events unfold in infinite micro events. As Thoreau wrote, “A mountain outline varies with every step, and it has an infinite number of profiles, though absolutely but one form."
