Composed by Fernando Machado (Guildhall Masters in Leadership alumnus)
‘ELEMENTS’ offers the listener a nurturing respite in challenging times. The soundbath envelops us in a warm, nourishing and harmonic environment, which both grounds and lifts on spontaneous energy flows. In this rapidly changing world, this piece emulates the four constants that connect us all - the elements of water, air, fire and earth.
