General instructions/suggestions include:
- Gather a dozen or so wind and brass players. Have them memorise this music.
- The players should walk one by one from off-stage to on-stage.
- If possible, have them do a complete circuit across the stage, off the other side, through the backstage area, then back onto the stage through the original entry point.
- I encourage the use of surprising points of entry, e.g. balconies, strange doors, trapdoors, zip lines, time machines.
- Optional: incorporate the theme tune to The Brady Bunch in Bb major.

Like many whakataukī, or traditional sayings, he rimu pae noa conveys a rich range of meanings. Literally, it describes seaweed set in motion by the tide. Metaphorically, it also refers the restlessness of a traveller, and the movement of a whole bed of seaweed in the same current alludes to a group of people working in harmony. This in particular has a strong resonance with the collaborative process from which the piece arose. The instrumental ensemble provides a framework, and a backdrop, for the improvisation of the taonga pūoro. At the same time it attempts to maintain its own identity, in conversation with the solo lines. Precisely specified gestural events are distributed in a flexible rhythmic framework,
which aims at a balance between control and spontaneity. I am deeply grateful to Horomona Horo, for a richly rewarding collaboration, and to Richard Nunns, whose work over many years is a deep source of inspiration.

The piece was written in collaboration with Andrzej Nowicki, a NZSM student who dances with a Polish folk group in Wellington. The clarinet carries the dance tunes in both movements, with a second clarinet and a baritone saxophone joining in the second. The gamelan accompaniment moves between “slendro” and “pelog”, suggesting a ‘bent’ version of western harmony.

The fate of the Roma and Sinti (Gypsy) people continues to be a hugely divisive topic across Europe. Substandard housing, special schools, huge unemployment, massive discrimination, hate crimes and murders of Roma and Sinti because of their ethnicity contrast with the widespread conviction that Roma and Sinti are lazy thieves refusing to work, and that their squalid housing and enormous poverty is solely their own fault.

As a foreigner in Europe Samuel Gray sees massive discrimination and hate crime that is absolutely shocking in a so-called enlightened continent, and for him the level of intolerance towards Roma – in countries that should have learnt enough lessons from history – is terrifying.

The accordion is heavily used in ‘Gypsy’ music, and Austria – where Samuel lives – is full of talented travelling Gypsy musicians. Roma is Samuel’s expression of solidarity both with those – largely ignored – musicians and with an ethnic group that, in his opinion, is still treated as sub-human.
