The music on Beyond the Edge was written for a new documentary feature by Leanne Pooley, a film that charts Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's 1953 ascent of Everest. David's score is rich in texture and timbre, a skillful combination of instruments, including gongs, taonga puoro and feedback, with vivid orchestration by Ewan Clarke conducted by Hamish McKeich.
