Piano Sounds: score

Last time I played these pieces I decided to write out a score....much easier to follow that my original notes. Like many musicians I sometimes have to reverse engineer past work so this is always worth the time. Some folks have asked for a score of 'flight', so here it is...very simple.

Mill Mantras II (2022)

In September I updated the sound installation at the Piano Mill; this involves a motion-sensing speaker on each of 3 levels of the Mill. Each speaker is loaded with an SD card of sound files. There are 35 tracks in total, of me improvising on the Pianos currently housed in the Mill. All up there is about 70 minutes of sound, which plays and overlaps depending on the movement of visitors to the building. The original version, Mill Mantras I, focused on the most unusual sounds made by the ageing pianos in the building, while this new version is more diverse in response to the activities taking place on the site as a whole. It takes at least 20 mins for any sound file to be repeated.

2024 Winter Residency

This winter my brother Alistair and I have a winter residency with the Harrigan's Lane Collective. We are very excited to have the opportunity to reconnect with this magical part of the world, and with a big aspect of our musical life; the statistical unlikelyhood that is a sibling piano duo. We spent a lot of time doing concerts together in the 90's and 2000's but have been busy for a number of years with other things. We are working on a programme of French piano duet music, and developing a new work for the Piano Mill. more information; https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=861743179087140&set=a.190442499550548
