This piece was written especially for the brilliant organist and pianist Charles Matthews. 

To Speak With Perfect Candor (for piano/keyboard)

Edge Chamber Choir - Drift, by Rob Jones

Carrousel is a quartet for keyboards: Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, Marimba, and Piano. I think of this instrumentation as a way of “preparing” the piano part - not with bolts and rubber bits, but with three mallet instruments with different colours, ranges and sounds, surrounding the piano. My intention is that each keyboard create iterations of the piano’s momentum with reflective sparks that bounce from one instrument to the other to create something like the blur of double vision. The piece has open-ended references to spiral motion in time, nature, and sound. It suggests that, as we pivot around the sun, all bodies acquire a natural rhythm or pulse, tuned to the return of sunshine and darkness, captives of a solar carousel. Carrousel was commissioned by Soundstreams with financial assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts.

This work was premiered at the 'Fujii Percussion and Voices' presented by Soundstreams on March 5, 2013 at Koerner Hall in Toronto, Canada and performed by: Haruka Fujii (marimba), Rika Fujii (Glockenspiel), Ryan Scott (vibraphone), Gregory Oh (piano).

A flexible, “ambient chamber glitch group”, SQUEE! is a collaboration between three composer/performers who met while studying at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. The ensemble strives to create a musical world that lies between the diverse backgrounds of all the players, in performing pieces that are composed collectively, which include notated, aleatoric and improvised elements.
