Aurora Dances
(EP 2023)
Aurora Dances is a three-movement trio for piano, clarinet and cello, written for and recorded by Trio Sonorité. The musical material was inspired by three contrasting stages of an aurora:
1. Quiet Arcs (diffuse aurora)
2. Parallel Rays (active aurora)
3. Limited Luminosity (black aurora)
playing outside
(EP 2023)
playing outside is a seven-movement string quartet, recorded by the Celia Quartet at Eastcote Studios. The work's title is a jazz expression that means to play temporarily outside the prevailing scale, chord, or key, and reflects the jazz-influenced musical language. The title of each movement refers to an activity or action that often takes place outside, but also has a double meaning; both elements have been used to create the musical material.
fizmer
(EP 2023)
fizmer is a piano trio inspired by phrases and expressions from Robert Macfarlane’s 2015 book, Landmarks, a study of words from the British Isles that are no longer in use or on the cusp of being lost. Fizmer is an old East Anglian word that describes the whispering sound of a gentle breeze flowing through reeds or grass.
