Other Information

Threnody. My time since becoming conscious of a desire to compose, before and during my Conservatoire years, was hugely taken up with exploring vast oceans of music by composers I hadn´t known about. Giacinto Scelsi was one of those. His extraordinary project to open up single notes I found at the time to be truly fascinating. Naturally I had to try my hand: Threnody was the result, which seems to have acquired a meaningful life . . .
