Waiting: 

Rise the dream is over now
Come and face the light of day
Bright, Blinding 
Awakened dreamer, come and face the light 

In dreams I lie awake, waiting
Like a turtle on a deadhead just
Taking in rays, taking in rays 

Waiting
like a hummingbird at a feeder

Awake,
I lay low 
Waiting
like a fossil by a roadside
Waiting 
To be picked up

Lying Awake, Waiting

You know. Just to practice for when the AI overlords take over.

Composed for the West Bucks High School choir in Pennsylvania, and based on the poetry of Anna Yin, this short work talks about  the grimmness of our urbanized life through the eyes a blackbird.

Tuxedo: Vasco ‘de’ Gama takes its title from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic 1982–3 artwork Tuxedo, a collection of 16 diagrammatic block pieces that come together to form a figure adorned with Basquiat’s trademark three-point crown symbol. It highlights recurring notions of majesty in his output, as does the tuxedo itself, which is a garment associated with luxury and elegance.

A multitude of Basquiat’s thematic preoccupations are displayed in the intricate hand-drawn and -written iconographic detail, encompassing a variety of histories. Indeed, his reference to Vasco da Gama (written as ‘Vasco de Gama’), the first European to voyage to Asia by sea, offers a commentary on exploration and the seeds of globalisation and multiculturalism: two important themes in the context of the year 2020.

The music moves between bright and buoyant moments of high energy and expansive stillness, underpinned by the incorporated harmonicas, which also function as a nod to the blues. Basquiat often drew attention to historical and contemporary matters of the African Diaspora. In a similar fashion, I have included a transcription of ‘Wade in the Water’, a traditional African-American spiritual, for music box.
