This is a the river Tyne from Tynemouth to Ryton. It’s the score for the first eleven minutes of the piece, plus an additional 3minutes to arrive from Greenland. It’s also the opening bass aria for Prudghor, ancient salmon god created together through a typo and a weeping lion at Prudhoe workshop, November 2011.
