Notes

Programme notes

White River Dream Song (2001) is a sequence of five sonic "snapshots" from a larger (imaginary) continuum. Years after writing this piece, I came across a series of four, very small paintings by Pieter Breughel the Younger (who happened to be from the same region as me), exploring exactly the same idea. Must be something in the water.
