Expanses by Bowing

The album was inspired by a trip to Australia in 2024. And in particular, travelling around the far south of Western Australia. The title “Expanses” and the music on the album seek to convey the vastness of the landscape and the huge distances between places. Having explored the great ocean road and striking scenery of the twelve apostles in Victoria, the east coast of New South Wales from Sydney to Brisbane, it was the flight across Australia to Perth that really provided the spark. Looking down from 38,000 ft, the sheer vastness of the brown, parched land below stretching to the horizon in every direction hour after hour was quite awe inspiring.

Wonderful beaches of pristine white sand and azure water offer stunning scenery while roads that stretch to the horizon and beyond, promise of wonders to experience. Spacious sounds for expansive places.

Wonderful beaches of pristine white sand and azure water offer stunning scenery while roads that stretch ahead, promise wonders over every horizon. The spacious soundscapes on the album try to convey to the listener a sense of space, a feel for the limitless landscapes and slow pace of life in the outback.
