Angel Face ; Images Sounds and Scores

Today I was working with open fresh , creative and generous performers ...

Adam de la cour - Guitar

Federico Reuben Electronics

Mark Knoop Accordion

Fiona Bevan Voice and Guitar

and Director Neil Luck

It was pretty lovely to hear my new work ' Angel Face ' rehearsed live. It's a sonically rich work with a very full spectrum working with the dynamic intensity of the scores .

When I was painting the score I was thinking about what each word looked like if it could be read as an image ...

Some of the images can be read quite literally , other's can't..

All the images have been done impulsively , with lots of physical interaction, mostly working with my fingers , the side of my arms and the cuff of my wrist ...

The instrumentalists have been given quite a limited pitch centres to work within but because of the interaction and closeness of the harmonics new sonorities are generated.

Anyway ... the work is dense to listen to and I think it's really beautiful so I hope people will come and watch. I'll put an audio clip on my myspace page soon.
