I Am Vertical / But I would rather be horizontal

We discuss self-taught composers, music education, and how this affects our composition. Apologies about the low levels!

Viola - Sebastian Adams

Triple collaboration between pianists @ericasipes from the US & @yukiest, from the UK - aka @MusicalPinC (Musical Partners in Crime) - and Irish composer @DanielBarkleyMusic.  This piece is written for piano, four hands but in this case we've taken the liberty to use two pianos.  The pianists each played their part in their own country then they were merged to create this recording. 

Performed by:

Erica Sipes (primo part) on Steiway
Yukie Smith (secondo part) on Yamaha

Nexus by Daniel Barkley - piano duet for four hands, one piano

Two PhD Composition students (and guests) from Queen's University Belfast discuss various musical matters.
