Description

This is the artwork for the track, Fallingwater Dawn, from my Fall From Earth album.

This piece is a blend of my fascination with architecture and the American landscape.
 
One of the most beautiful sights in the world is a waterfall tucked away in a ravine in Montana.

Ousel Falls runs off the Gallatin River and drops down to a rock plateau where you can stand in its spray and become lost in the patterns of water eddying past your feet. Arrive at the falls at the right time and a dizzying spectrum of colours is refracted from the sunlight hitting the spray.
 
It's sobering and reassuring to know that whatever is going on in the world, that water will continue to cascade, and will do so hundreds of years from now.
 
Every time I've made the short hike to see the falls, I've come back with numerous pieces of music in my head.
 
I'd already sketched out a piece about the falls called 'Falling Water' before seeing the incredible house of the same name designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania. His masterpiece appears to sit astride a magnificent waterfall and is one of the great achievements of American architecture.
