about

A family’s experience, having fled their war-torn home in hopes of a safer life in another land.

lyrics

Dappled light and streaming colour
Falls over me
Reminds of times gone by

Battered soul and mind conspire
Long to be free
Remind of times gone by

A father who can’t provide
A boy who’s dreams are gone
A family in divide

Idle hands defrost by the fire
Feel so cold
A winter with no spring

Colours turn to shades of grey
Growing old
Never see the light of day

A mother who can’t provide
A girl who wants to belong
A family in divide

about

Tim Hunter Sydney, Australia

Hi, friend. Thanks for stopping by. I am a composer from the Blue Mountains, Australia with big aspirations but small ambitions. My music draws inspiration from a melting pot of jazz, Hans Zimmer, metal, Brian Eno, folk, IDM, Robert Fripp, Ólafur Arnalds and more- I hope you find something to love in my compositions!

String Quartet No.1
by Boris Skalsky

Boris Skalsky is a talented man. String Quartet No. 1, a short, three movement work of art, opens rather somberly, before expanding into a brutal, dissonant climax. I find myself revisiting this often Tim Hunter

by Joel Nielsen

Joel Nielsen has crafted a brilliantly moving soundtrack here, spanning many moods and emotions. Great stuff. Tim Hunter
