"J’ai assumé la réciprocité et l’aspect ritualiste suggéré par le titre de l’œuvre en tant qu’élément propulseur des interactions entre soliste et ensemble. Pourtant, les dialogues ne sont pas de simples réponses ou répétitions ; ils se projettent dans le temps comme une espèce d’écho, ou d’un « dialogue antiphonal » distordu, créant un simulacre sonore où des points, des lignes et des textures ont tendance à se déformer dans un jeu de construction et de déconstruction des mouvements et des sonorités." — Rodrigo Lima

Here are some excerpts of recordings of some of my compositions. I've concentrated on music which is not (yet?) available on CD or shared by others on YouTube, and which I haven't placed as downloadable material on my website (richardbarrettmusic.com).

Politeia (from CONSTRUCTION, 2011) for 13 instruments

"Talking about music is like fishing about architecture."
