First Performance : Summer 1997

South Bank Centre, London

Soprano saxophone - Kyle Horch
Cello - Kim Mackrell
Electric piano - Ian Stewart

This work was composed in 1997 for two contemporary dance performances at the South Bank Centre, London. The first movement is repetitive in style, and is characterised by pentatonic themes and piano cluster chords. The second movement is redolent of Scottish music and may have been influenced by the music I heard when I lived in Scotland in my teens. The third movement is influenced by Ibiza ambient/new age music that has been popular since the late 1980s. The quaver piano writing is very much part of that style.
