It's inspired by an encounter with a  pigeon on Swanston St. that was unable to avoid smearing my face with grease from it's wing whilst I was riding my bike to morning class. As I approached the flock of pigeons on the bike path eating scraps, it alone was unable to fly out of my way and instead flew towards me at head height and hovered stationary in my path. Frozen in indecision as to whether to fly left or right, it awaited my slow arrival on bike until we were face to face, at which point it offered the gentle caress of it's wing on my face, dishevelling my glasses before it fell to the ground and walked away shamefully. I recorded and played all instruments myself: electric bass, drums, nylon string guitar, tenor recorder, ukulele, double bass.

Caprice

This is the MIDI version of my first Invention for two classical guitars. I'm in the process of learning to play both voices at the moment to record it properly. I'm currently working on writing the sinfonia that it's to be paired with.
