I was listening one day to a simple melody by Arvo Pärt, which stirred something inside me that I had to record. This is it - every note was inspired by a simple melody, similar to the first few notes.

Improvisation on Pärt's Melody

The sound of summer is peculiar, as is this weather at the moment. I wrote this piece today whilst watching the sky and listening to the sounds of summer. At first I was frustrated by the fact that the Cicadas managed to break their chirping through the walls, but in the end, that was what was mirrored in the work in some sections. So why not include it in the recording?

This piece has a possible Cello part to come also, so fingers crossed I can get that completed soon!
