The piece "Earth Flow" responds to Himalayas to Ocean, a documentary research project recounting stories of climate change along the Gandaki river in Nepal. It focuses on themes of erosion, landslides and change. In many places across Nepal, landslides are becoming more common to increased glacial melt and intense rains. This is predicted to worsen as the climate changes further.

The original version, premiered by conductor Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey and the Orchestra of St John’s in 2019 at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford combines string orchestra with live sampling, electronics and expedition field recordings, performed through a surround-sound.
