'And Laptop' is a series of three short solo pieces for Melodica, Banjo and Bicycle Wheel paired with laptop and based around one central theme: A person must go through various deaths of self through their life as older versions are replaced with newer versions. At times, these past selves may reappear and must either replace the current self, coexist, or be pushed away again. Each solo explores this idea in its own way. The series also approaches the relationship between acoustic instruments and electronics as each instrument is arguable ‘reduced’ to an information input device for the laptop.
