Tony Lewis is a non-Aboriginal musician, composer and producer dedicated to the preservation and development of Aboriginal culture.

Reviews
This is basically edgy, experimental music written specifically for the Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre. It has a life of its own beyond the actual dance performances because of Lewis's extraordinary ability to make his music visual ... There is a great and haunting vitality about this music.
… a high quality electronic melange of natural sounds, traditional quotes and inventive abstractions …

Serenades (Original Soundtrack)
Davood A. Tabrizi's haunting score for Mojgan Khadem's film Serenades was extended in the studio so the album stands alone, away from the motion picture, as a complete listening experience.
