Vertumnus by Packwood

Vertumnus is an epic four-part exploration of our planet’s seasons. Written over the course of a meditative year spent in tiny shacks along Australia’s coast, an apartment in the inner city of Melbourne, and amongst the Redwood forests of California – Packwood has sculpted emblems of the challenges and relief of each natural quarter. Each season presents it’s own character, and each song within it a unique voice. Bayden’s expressive vocals and guitar pickings are accompanied at times by a full chamber orchestra and choir, and at times ring out solitary and exposed. Rich with love, fear and wonder; Vertumnus is a reflection on our relationship with each other and with our planet.
