Matthew Hindson's album, released on September 1, 2008, under the Morrison Music Trust label, is a captivating journey through modern symphonic and concertante works. The album presents two significant compositions: the Symphony No. 1, subtitled "A Symphony of Modern Objects," and the Violin Concerto No. 1, titled "Australian Postcards," along with the intriguing piece "Headbanger."
The Symphony No. 1 is a four-movement exploration of contemporary themes, each movement evoking a different aspect of modern life. From the innovative "Silicon Revolution" to the reflective "Vietnam War Memorial," Hindson weaves a tapestry of sounds that are both thought-provoking and deeply expressive.
The Violin Concerto No. 1 offers a vivid musical postcard from Australia, with movements inspired by diverse scenes such as the industrial "Wind Turbine at Kooragang Island" and the nostalgic "Grand Final Day." The concerto showcases the violin's versatility and Hindson's ability to paint vivid sonic landscapes.
Completing the album is "Headbanger," a piece that adds a dynamic and energetic contrast to the more expansive symphonic and concertante works. With a total duration of 1 hour and 17 minutes, this album is a substantial and engaging exploration of Matthew Hindson's compositional prowess, offering a rich and varied listening experience.
