Waterfall
Mike Block
Release Date: October 28, 2026
“Waterfall” is the heart of Hope on the Hill, a suite of original music by Mike Block, inspired by the artistic philosophy and life of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. “Waterfall” depicts the resurgence of life after death, representing both the literal rebuilding of Taliesin and the metaphorical rebuilding of Wright’s life and career after various tragedies. The piece is inspired by the iconic house, Fallingwater, and the idea that rebirth and coming back to life are always possible.
