Golden Kelp from Golden Kelp by Cliona Molins & Riley Lee

In this original soundscape, you can imagine yourself swimming above kelp forests. Its distinct underwater tempo is to calm us.

It is inspired by a love of snorkelling in my local marine park where the golden kelp forests are abundant and provide important habitat for marine diversity. My passion is also to bring awareness to the vast Great Southern Reef surrounding the, more temporal waters of Australia. This 8000 kilometre set of interconnected reefs is a biodiversity hotspot. Research is highlighting the future threats to this reef due to climate change and many other factors.

Originally from Ireland but based in Sydney. Harp player teacher and composer. I love collaborating with musicians wherever the harp can be effective - and there are so many! Collaborating with shakuhachi player Riley Lee on a 2nd album, Golden Kelp, has brought me to taking an artist pledge with the Kelp Forest Alliance to promote the GSF and opened up the timeless quality of Irish harp airs.
