Piano Suite II: ‘9 Images for Piano’ 1999
After Ansel Adams
This suite was written from memories of the atmospheres in Ansel Adams’ photographs. Rather than work directly from any single image, I recalled how his pictures had made me feel in the past and tried to capture those feelings in the compositions. In some pieces I was led to short,
imagined stories in black and white, in the style of Adams photography.
‘The man in the black hat below is probably sleeping’ is one such story. Its location is a small
town in America at the height of summer sometime in the 1800’s; a man, probably drunk and
passed out, is sprawled out on the ground in the noon sun, a large hat obscuring his undoubtedly handsome face. But a fly is at work on him and as its activities increase, a more ominous
explanation for why the man is motionless begins to dawn on the passers by.
‘Going on bird speed’ is an homage to my grandparents and imagines their thoughts while they watched birds circling their ship as they sailed towards a new life in America early in the 1900’s. 
Eighty years later and ‘Softer green sleeping’ is a portrait of two of their great grandchildren, sun baked and sleeping in their room after a long afternoon in summer-heat-park.
