Three Windows in the Weather was written after a six-day visit to Dusky and Doubtful Sounds in Fiordland in October 2007. Ten artists (poets, visual artists, a composer and a film-maker) travelled on the Breaksea Girl to create work as a fund-raiser for the Caselberg Trust, who are restoring the Broad Bay house of Anna and John Caselberg for use for artist residencies.

Richard Henry was possibly New Zealand’s first conservationist, who rescued kakapo and other endangered birds, creating a sanctuary on Resolution Island, until, several years later, he saw a stoat swimming nearby, and realised the sanctuary was compromised. The second poem, Wet Jacket Arm, makes reference to the threatened biodiversity of the region, and the third refers to a gale experienced one night on the Breaksea Girl.

The official first performance, with Greg O’Brien reading his own poems, was in St Paul’s Cathedral in the Otago Festival of the Arts on October 8th, 2008. A ‘preview’ performance was given on September 26th by Ben Hoadley and Emma Sayers with Bill Manhire reading.

In the spirit of recycling, Timepiece uses music of the past in new ways. The three-note motif that pervades the work is a transcription of a bellbird song (previously used in my piece Bush Telegraph). I also quote from Mahler, The Beatles, and a famous clock tune.

Timepiece is a clarinet quartet, composed for The Committee’s ‘Clock Works’ concert in Auckland University’s Clocktower. In a minimalistic style, it includes hocketing, spatial effects, birdsong, and musical quotation.

A virtuosic work for solo clarinet which exploits the instrument’s great agility and wide timbral and dynamic range. The work concludes with a tranquil melodic sequence from which the work takes its name.

Transcendental Fragments, for wind trio, is a short piece based on musical fragments from the composer’s concerto for orchestra entitled Transcend which was premiered by the Auckland Philharmonia in 2003. These fragments have undergone much reworking from their original orchestral setting and are tossed around between the performers in fast and slow tempi.

Three short “songs” for flute that present three different “imperfect” states of being: impulsiveness, bewilderment and belligerence. The player is also asked to interact with their instruments in three different ways, with a particular focus on the physical/biological mechanisms involved in the control of fingerings, breath and embouchure.
