Composed at the 1984 Cambridge Summer School, Clouds over Pirongia is a short delicate piece which uses a wide variety of metallic percussion instruments. The resonant sonorities were suggested by various cloud formations over nearby Mt. Pirongia.

Echoes was written for the Puspawarna Gamelan Group at the University of Otago. I have long enjoyed the sounds of the gamelan, and welcomed the invitation by Dr Shelley Brunt to compose something for Puspawarna. Although I knew some rudimentary things about the instruments, composing this piece gave me the opportunity to learn a great deal more. Being able to play a little in the ensemble was invaluable, as was advice provided by leader Joko Susilo, Shelley, Chris Watson (Mozart Fellow at Otago University) and one of my students, Ali Churcher, who coincidentally was writing a piece for gamelan at the same time.

Echoes is the first piece I have written without using a piano at all to compose. Having been to a gamelan rehearsal I found a tune popping into my head during a walk to the dairy. I developed this tune on the computer (using vibraphone sounds to represent the gamelan), layering it into a canon, or round. Two further tunes appear, based on different home notes, but all the tunes use the same pelog scale. They are decorated and varied, before the opening tune returns like an echo at the end. The idea of echoes is also evoked by the canons, and the ringing sounds of the gamelan itself. Echoes have a spiritual significance, I think; sound waves return to a listener in the same way memories flood the brain when triggered by something special happens. They induce a reflective state.

Composed at the request of Ney Rosauro, ‘HAND TO HAND’ is a direct acknowledgement of the influence of certain popular music styles in my music. These are however rather subtly articulated: only occasionally breaching the musical surface to be quickly re-assimilated into the texture. ‘HAND TO HAND’ was commissioned by the University of Miami Percussion Ensemble with funding from Creative New Zealand.

Industrial Fantasia is written for percussion ensemble – piano, toms, marimba, cymbal, snare, and bass drum. The piece was originally written on piano and the percussion added later.

The idea behind the piece was to combine a classical style with an industrial rock style. The percussion instruments play more conventional and metrical rhythms – sometimes reminiscent of factory and machine sounds, while the piano anchors the piece with fast propulsive material in a contemporary classical style. The piano weaves in and out of states of contrasting and complimenting the percussion section.
