There is a book called The Mysticism of Sound and Music by a Sufi teacher, Hazrat Inayat Khan.
In this book he tells the story about how Moses climbs up Mount Sinai and on reaching the top receives a divine command, 'Musa Ke!' (Moses Hear!) and the revelation that then came to him was in the form of tone and rhythm. It was this story that inspired Stuart to write Moses Hear.
By the way, from the words Musa Ke we get the modern day derivative - music.
"Around the time that I was playing with the concept of Moses Hear I had the sudden urge to take myself away for a week - and to cut a long story short I ended up hiring a cabin on Dartmoor, 350 feet up the side of a hill, over looking the river Dart. The views were inspirational."
It was at this cabin, over the course of the week, that most of what you hear on Moses Hear was written.
The first track of the album, World of the Elemental (pt1), has, as its background, the sound of the river recorded from the cabin.
