Lighthouse is a 'story in words and music' that follows a couple of boys who set out on an aquatic adventure. Inspired by an encounter with an enigmatic old fisherman, they eagerly take to the sea on their own, only to realise their enthusiasm may not quite be matched by their knowledge and experience.
A story of the importance of knowing one's harbour when setting out on a journey of novel discovery, Lighthouse looks at the way a childhood episode of excitement and peril can inform our later understanding of that which matters most.

Cosmic Travel Diaries in an imaginative journey into space, delivered as a story in words and music. This is the first installment.
Here, standing at the gate and ready to embark, we survey the enormous ship, pointed defiantly heavenward and dwarfing everything in its monolithic presence.
Is it awe? Is it fear or wonder? Or perhaps disbelief at our own forceful determination to place our soft, warm flesh within touching distance of potentially destructive forces that defy comprehension? Must life only exist at the precipice of extinction? Must we only perceive its fragility, appreciate its rarity and understand its complexity, when the true magnitude of danger to its persistence is laid out before us?
