High sensitivity. Audacity. Spontaneity. Shades. A peaceful moment suspended in time.

Nice work. I like your minimalism. Reminds me of my own in fact. Listen for example to my piece Mars Awakening here on SC. And other pieces too where I work with the piano in a similar minimalistic way. :)

Wesley this is the best music to write to. Thank you.

Love the emotion and the movement of this - not to mention the sheer athleticism of playing a piece that requires this much use of wrist and forearm - the opportunities with this piano foundation is broad and wide - you could go so many directions with this.  Well done fellow pianist - the consistency and musicianship is wonderful - the 4.20ish dissonance is a welcome accent Introduction of the Bass notes at 5.00 is also a nice dynamic.

Nice sparing use of treble to create flashes of lightness

Very cool cinematic sounding improv you got going.

While The Lilly White Shall In Love Delight - #3566 By Chair House 230919

Work3

SonarMix 046 breaks with the norm: it's not music you'll  have heard in a club (at least in this century). Following the release of her second album 'Moves In The Field' on Warp, virtuosa pianist Kelly Moran gives us a history lesson in piano music ahead of her appearance at Sónar by Day. "If I could program an evening of my favourite piano music, these are the pieces I would play for the audience.”

Piano Suite IV Music from Fragile Light Spaces
After Rachel Whiteread, Nazarin Montag and Roberto Battista

The starting point for this work was artist Rachel Whiteread's sculpture piece where she'd cast into plaster the shape of the space underneath a bed.  I set out to try something similar in composition; at the time Whiteread was working in the Arctic so I began to think about the shapes of spaces within icebergs and to allow these imagined cavities define peaks, troughs and edges of the music.  Later on, I sought extra visual input so I collaborated with two photographers also preoccupied with the depiction of spaces.

I used a sequence of light drawings by Nazarin Montag to complete the first six pieces in the suite:  "Using the camera as a 'drawing tool' I sketched the transfer lounge of Newark Airport Terminal NYC; a transient space through which motion is defined by its architecture. As I passed through I drew traces of artificial light on the surface of the film and discovered a hidden world that lies within." (Nazarin Montag, 2005)

Photographs by Roberto Battista enabled the completion of the suite's final piece, Cloud Sky Fade; "Because of my habit of staring at the sky I've often hurt myself.  At the same time, I've read so many stories in the passing clouds that travel around the world witnessing the lives of countless people that I don't regret a few bruises." (Roberto Battista, 2005)

Piano Suite VII: Collection 2009
After Hussein Chalayan


During the spring of 2009 the Design Museum in London organised a debate at Shoreditch Town Hall, hosted by Cypriot-born designer/artist Hussein Chalayan, to explore what makes London such a magnet for the artistic community throughout the world.  I had been invited by the museum to create a music performance inspired by Chalayan who was on exhibition at the time.  Taking his interest in the issues of cultural migration and displacement as my starting point I ran a questionnaire at the debate to capture the family histories of his audience.  190 questionnaires were returned, and these created 190 unique family tales, each spanning three generations across a hundred years. 

The people poetry I collected through asking my questions allowed me to roam through a borderless sound-territory creating music that would otherwise not have been found but for the lavishly diverse family histories I was lucky enough to bask in.  I commissioned John Kennedy to create drawings from the tales which gave me additional triggers for the composition.  The complete tales, with Kennedy’s cover illustration “The Sea of Names”, are held in the Design Museum library.

After writing the music I had one final process to go through. I filtered words from the 190 tales and ended up with four narrations in the style of radio news reports.  The narrations were read aloud in between the piano pieces by the correspondent, Mihir Bose - whose voice I have admired from afar for many years.   And so “Suite VII: Collection” is a work that’s in the style of a live radio show.  The narrations are at the back of this book.   Pianists performing this suite are encouraged to have the narrations read aloud in this order: narration 1, piece 1, narration 2, piece 2, narration 3, piece 3, narration 4, piece 4.  

Metronome markings are indications of general tempo feel.

I’m a classically trained pianist and violinist originally from Australia. I make minimalist piano textures through a process of improv and experimenting with recording processes.

Inspiration: pianists and artists such as the necks (and chris abrahams), keith jarrett, steve reich, lola perrin, tigran hamasayan, colleen... and many others! You can see more music I love on My Jam: https://www.thisismyjam.com/wesbot
