According to Māori mythology, Mount Taranaki is said to be crying for his lost love when he conceals himself with rainclouds, and during spectacular sunsets he is said to be revealing himself to her. In this piece David created the structure and bed of sounds first - creating a hypnotic and compelling feel - and Wouter then followed by adding flute colours and melodies. The amazing South African roots artist Pops Mohamed added his traditional sounds and shades.

Globe-trotting flutist and composer Wouter Kellerman received a GRAMMY® Award for his album Winds of Samsara, also reaching #1 on the US Billboard Charts and peaking at #1 on the Zone Music Reporter Top 100 International Radio Airplay Chart..

Kellerman thrives on experimenting with the shades, textures and colours of the flute, and creatively blending them with other instrumentation and vocal sounds. Over the course of nine albums, Kellerman has steadfastly built on the rigorous classical training of his youth, to create a signature sound that’s earned him both critical praise and multiple awards. He has won a total of eight SAMA's (South African Music Award, the SA equivalent to the American GRAMMY®), reinforcing his status as one of South Africa’s foremost musicians.

David Arkenstone brings a bit of magic to every project he does. That, along with over 30 years of experience and knowledge working in the film and music industries, 4 Grammy nominations, 22 Billboard hits and over 65 albums in release makes David one of the most prolific and established composers of our time.

This world-renowned multi-instrumentalist has captivated audiences since he broke onto the scene in 1987 with his debut album, Valley in the Clouds. David’s distinctive tracks are unique fusions of cinematic rock, classical and world music which create “soundscapes for your imagination.”
