A huge programme at the 2025 Piano Mill...including a repeat performance of the piece my brother Alistair and I devised in 2024. This photo by Alistair during our rehearsal on Good Friday...the piece is comprised of percussion, harmonium, live piano, and pre-recorded piano sounds from the instruments inside the Mill.
"The work’s interplay of tonal contrasts evoking the grinding, pounding and clack of levers created through live piano, harmonium and pre-recorded mechanical sources was vivid and cleverly set the tone for the afternoon’s listening experience. The strike of the bell from the ‘grader blade carillon’ invested the Mill with cathedral-like authority."
