Black Sand began as an investigation of possible cello sounds and their variations, which I composed into a solo line using a devised compositional system, balancing initial conscious choices with chance elements. I also utilised an aleatory process to generate material for the rest of the ensemble by treating the possible gestural fragments in a number of categories (dynamics, articulation, instrumental technique, and orchestration). Underpinned by a rotational pitch structure, and due to the severe limitation on pitch and sonority, Black Sand unfolds as a bare and very atmospheric piece.

Dry Shadows draws on the idea of fragmentary colouring, and the trajectory and resonance of these fragments through blending different combinations of the instruments. It inhabits a sparse world of very specific material and gestural flow. Intentionally discontinuous, Dry Shadows explores the sound relationships between and across the instruments. Sudden loud, spiky punctuations in the music, as well as the numerous more delicate colours and shadowy sonorities in between these interjections, give rise to a sense of mystery in the music.

Written while I was studying in Osaka on a Japanese Government scholarship before undertaking my main period of study in Hiroshima; an ode to the sakura (cherry-blossom) so beloved by the people of Japan. The triadic harmonies played by the three violas are interspersed with solo passages on alto flute; their forces later unite in a chorale (choreographed by a Noh dancer?) before a brief coda closes the work.

First performed at Victoria University of Wellington and again in the Auckland Philharmonia Ensemble Philharmonia concerts in June and July 1994.
