The Lal Lal Falls are located in Western Victoria, Australia, 25 kilometres southeast of the goldfields city of Ballarat. Lal Lal, meaning ‘the dashing of waters’ in the indigenous language of the Wathawurrung people, has also been known as Woringganninyoke. The Falls are situated on Lal Lal Creek, about a kilometre from the edge of the Lal Lal Reservoir. It is a significant ancient site of multiple geological, indigenous, colonial and present day interconnections. Blended dimensions of acoustic flute, electronics, imagery and live performance are creating a semi-improvised composition intended as a response to landscape, a re-presentation of an experience of place.
