Visit my website www.hectordocx.com to read about "The China Project" and learn more about the piece. 

This piece was composed after a research trip through the Guangxi province of China. We were researching the folk melodies of various ethnic groups that are indigenous to the province. It was inside a Buddhist cave that the first conceptual ideas arose. The sound of plainsong shimmering through the white noise of rushing water gave the impression of a blurry, fragile beauty that if one were to breathe too loud, would be lost. Hearing two sopranos later on the trip, I instantly recognised that I should write for voice. Their performance will always stay with me, the sharp dissonances which they unashamedly hold, the light lyrical pentatonic melodies and the beauty of their un-synchronised ornamentation. It was these characteristics that I wanted to bring into direct contrast with the church modes and renaissance harmony of western Europe - to bring these two aesthetics of music into collision with one another. Towards the middle of the piece the renaissance music takes hold only to be overthrown by a direct musical citation of the duet folk song sung by the two sopranos. The text used is the name of the cave; "Shui Yuan Dong" and the word "Lacrymae", both being bound by the motif of water: "Shui" can be translated as water and "Lacrymae" as tear or weeping.

Dance Of The Drunken Fairies

I was thinking about snow...

This will melt soon as ideas do but while it persists I splay it out...

Later That Day

basis was a jam with vox, mouth organ, flute over 12 mins in one go, simply changing instruments on the fly :) soprano sax is a second impro layer.
no revision of improvised parts, in this regard: it is, what it is. ..... a matter of about two and a half hours, that's how I really like it :D ... hope, you like it too ;)

Night Note: The afternoon attempts [Boson Spin mix]

Middle movement of a piano sonata that's now deleted from Soundcloud, but this movement holds up pretty decently I think. Relatively simple and minimalist-ish short composition in the seldom used locrian mode.

Persisters

Its Own Way - 2

I chose the love I believe to be the greatest of emotions.
I put his name four seasons of love.
The introduction describes the first encounter and the impact.
Strong chords describe the fire burning.
Then there is a fast music that goes on with flirting and good times and two different themes.
Separation after that.
After that, love is painful.
The final is only the pictures that remain ...
I hope you will like it.
