Dialogue was commissioned by Jeremy Fitzsimons in 2004 with funding from Chamber Music New Zealand and is Gareth’s first work for two mallet percussion instruments. The piece explores the ability of the two instruments to blend into one as well as highlighting the contracts in tone between the two.
The first movement is a development of a chord progression played by the marimba at the beginning; Balinese interlocking techniques (kotekan) are used in the second movement; and the third movement is a moto perpetuo (constant motion) with the two instruments dashing forwards in parallel, in counterpoint, and in canon.

This short work is an adaptation of a piano duet originally composed in 2001 to commemorate the retirement occasion of the composer’s first piano teacher, Peter Williams. At the time of tis composition, Psathas was engaged in writing his double concerto for percussion, piano and orchestra, View from Olympus, and in mood and musical material, Fragment is related to the second movement of that work.

This version, for marimba and vibraphone, was arranged by percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons. Fitzsimons first performed the work with Kristie Ibrahim, together as Double Lateral, in the Illot Theatre, Wellington Town Hall, Wellington, New Zealand on 2 October 2005.

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.

Ukiyo – a duo for vibraphone, marimba and with digital audio, was jointly commissioned by Jeremy Fitzsimons and Chamber Music New Zealand, with funding support from Creative New Zealand, for performance by Double Lateral (Jeremy Fitzsimons and Kristie Ibrahim). The work was first performed by Double Lateral at the Ilott Theatre, Wellington, New Zealand, on 2 October 2005.

Zen monks and haiku poets spoke of life in terms of a transient ‘floating world’ (Ukiyo), or of a dream that vanishes. In the traditional Buddhist view, our corporeal existence is one in which happening gives way to happening, illusion follows illusion, and all is nothing but a phantasm void of substance.
