Mata-au is the original name of the Clutha river, which I see from my window in the Henderson house, built by the Austrian architect Ernst Plischke where, courtesy of the Henderson Arts Trust, I was artist-in-residence. Mata-au refers to the river’s characteristic whirlpools, caused by layered currents flowing at different speeds, which resemble the wake of a giant waka, and the piece has its origins in Māori chant.

This set of five miniatures for bass clarinet explores the experiences of different states of mind:

I. Somnolence, n. a state of drowsiness; a condition of semi-consciousness approaching coma
II. Sharpness, n. a quick and penetrating intelligence; the cutting ability of an edge
III. Obstinacy, n. unyielding or stubborn adherence to one’s purpose, opinion, etc.; the trait of being difficult to handle or overcome
IV. Doubt, n. a feeling of uncertainty about the truth, reality, or nature of something
V. Vertigo, n. a confused, disoriented state of mind; a dizzying sensation of tilting within stable surroundings

Each movement has an individual character but together they form a sort of continuum from passive inactivity to driving motion, and from safety to danger.

Returning to the medium of solo flute, this piece was written during 1986 for Elizabeth Hirst who was at that time a sixth form student of the composer at Epsom Girls Grammar School. The piece acts as a kind of summary of the series and angain features the overblowing/tremolo technique extensively. This piece was subsequently absorbed into Passacaglia – a work for flute and strings written for the same soloist.

The tape part in ‘Sound Cylinders’ consists mainly of flute sounds that have been altered or modified with the help of a computer. This not only provides a way for the spectral qualities of the flute to be extended in the tape part, but also allows for a singularity in the overall timbral character of the work. The flute part utilises several extended techniques (such as tongue rams). The work attempts to incorporate each of these extended techniques as an integral and integrated part of the overall sound world of the piece. The opening inhale/exhale breathing sounds establishes the nature of the dialogue between the flute and tape parts in the work. ‘Sound Cylinders’ was written for Tony Ferner over the summer of 1996 and 1997.
