Walk to Infinity played on Dr Rom's Peace Machine

A composition for my grandfather, Winslow Thambiah Ivers (WTI) Alagaratnam who died in 1977. As Director of Irrigation in Sri Lanka he gained the nickname Walk to Infinity for his habit of getting up early and walking for mile after mile inspecting the renovation of the ancient irrigation tanks in the north of Sri Lanka. As a Tamil man, my grandfather was criticised by the separatists for his role in the Gal Oya irrigation scheme and later killed by his own grandchildren at the beginning of the war, after his irrigation maps and knowledge were used to plan the separatist war; the so-called "Black July pogrom" of 1983, when many Tamils were attacked in Colombo after the funeral of the first soldiers to be killed by the Tamil Tigers was planned from the Irrigation Department building in Buller's Road in the hope of "waking up the sleeping Tamils" in Colombo as my father, Brian Senewiratne, called them. He wanted them to unite with him and the Tamil radicals in fighting for a separate state.
