Syrinx released its first (eponymous) album in 1970. In its wake, the group found itself newly in demand from a variety of quarters: Syrinx opened for jazz legendMiles Davison hisBitches Brewtour, and played bills withRavi Shankar.

In addition, the first release attracted the attention of executives fromCTV, which commissioned a theme song for its forward-looking television seriesHere Come the Seventies. This commission resulted in Mills-Cockell composing Tillicum, which was later released as a single and was included on Syrinxs second album.

The first album also resulted in a 1971 commission, from the respectedToronto Repertory Orchestraunder the direction ofMilton Barnes, of Stringspace, which Mills-Cockell composed for Syrinx, the TRO, and additional percussion. Stringspace is a 26-minute composition in four movements: Syren, December Angel, Ibisitx, and Field Hymn (Epilogue). Stringspace was performed live and broadcast on theCanadian Broadcasting Corporations program Music to See in 1971
