Sticks, Twigs, Branches (2022) composed by Frankie Dyson Reilly for Decibel ScorePlayer. 

From the performance notes: "Sticks, Twigs, Branches is an exploration of the soundworlds that can be activated by combining diverse instruments of the string family. Piano, violins, and guitar are all plucked and bowed in turn, with each performer drawing on their individual interpretation of coloured imagery to weave their own unique experience into the fabric of the work."

A special thank you is owed to the wonderful performers/collaborators who each contributed their creativity and uniquely shaped the visual and musical outcome of this work.

Sticks, Twigs, Branches(2022)

Cerfs-volants, a piece for piano meant to imitate the style of Claude Debussy. Written by Richard B., completed October 2015, performed electronically by Finale Human Playback. (Because I don't, as of yet, have a perfect recording of me playing it. It's difficult af.)

Mix for End Notes [Vivid Festival Sydney, Australia 2017]

I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of this great southern land, the Gadigal of the Eora nation and their Elders past, present and future. I acknowledge their culture and relationship with the land and water. Aboriginal land; always was, always will be.

End Notes

This was recorded on a phone, so please excuse the quality. However, most of the recording is intact.
A piano suite written in distress, on reaction to hearing the news of the Great Barrier Reef been bleached to the point of the coral being unable to naturally regenerate. As the composer is from near Cairns, Queensland, very close to the Great Barrier Reef, it is an issue that is important to him.


Piano solo performed by Julian Wade at Queensland Conservatorium on November 8 2017.
