This work was initially conceived for tenor saxophone, on which I gave the premiere in 2008 (see other recording on this site). I have subsequently performed it on alto and soprano - here is the premiere of the soprano version, somewhat-roughly recorded live by me on my laptop at Holy Trinity Church, Surrey Hills, Melbourne, in October 2012, in association with Surrey Hills Music Festival. To any audiophiles out there: OK so it's not the most perfect recording; a couple of 'clippy' moments etc... if you feel like seeing how much you could tidy it up, please feel free to contact me and I'll send you the file! Cheers :)
My alto sax performance of this work appears on my 2014 album 'Grooves Unspoken'.
