La sangre y la piedra

Premiere performance for Pulsar Festival 2019 by the Novo Quartet with Louise Mcclelland Jacobsen, conducted by Vincent Hardaker.

Excerpt: 

Nightshadows deepen in this earthly kingdom,
  The turn of events changes world under heavens.

Therefore I cannot think why
   throughout the world
my mind should not grow dark.

Falling snowstorm binds the earth, 
the noise of winter
   familiar utterances,
      Fate is inexorable.

Set to 'The Wanderer' - one of many anonymous poems in the Exeter Book, written ca. 10th C.

I have a deep attraction to the ruggedness of forests and the intense vibrations they emit. Although this piece was not directly inspired by forests, nor is it programatic in other sense for that matter, I feel it brought the nature lover out in me. I think of my music a bit like an English garden, in which the ruggedness of nature is allowed to resonate, with the gardener guiding plants rather than forcing them into geometrical shapes and forms. While I do write very precise harmonies, timbres and textures, I like to allow the music to breath and flow in a way that reflects the natural textures, motions and layers of a forest.

Gremlin (2019)for brass mouthpiece and harmon mute. Composed for and performed by Tristram Williams. Premiered July 30 2019, Ian Potter Southbank Centre, Melbourne, Australia.

Gremlin is an expansion of a miniature composed at the 2018 Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music. Scored for brass mouthpiece and harmon mute only, the piece focuses on the physicality of brass playing technique, specifically breath, throat, tongue, and hand movements. When isolated and amplified, the sounds created by these techniques take on a dark, mischievous quality, hissing and growling like a small, furry creature that shouldn’t be fed after midnight.
