Gêmdis (2020), for solo E-flat clarinet and ensemble, has been released by Carl Rosman & Ensemble Musikfabrik (cond. Christian Eggen). The title ‘Gêmdis’ combines the Welsh words for ‘game’ and ‘dice’, and like a desperate gambler, the music keeps returning for another roll of the dice.
A new piece, Gêmdis, was recorded by Ensemble Musikfabrik in November and is expected to be released very soon. Meanwhile, two smaller pieces have been recorded live to video tape and are due to be released as part of the ensemble's Lockdown Tapes series in the coming months.
Datod, for violin and piano, received its premiere in Cologne yesterday. Performers Hannah Weirich and Ulrich Löffler absolutely blew me away with two(!) fabulous performances. A recording of the second performance, which was especially moving, can be accessed via this post.
A new piece! One, Two, Bakerloo... is for solo violin and was premiered on Youtube by Fenella Humphreys, 10 June 2020. The video is still available to stream and can be accessed via this post.
What strange times we find ourselves in! There were meant to be two premieres of mine in May, one of which has been postponed and the other sadly cancelled. There is still plenty to look forward to though...
