I had conceived the ideas for Moth long before it was written down on paper, having been kept awake on many occasions during the summer nights by the sounds of these fluttering insects. The sounds were fragmented by intervals of long silence, but they came so suddenly even the heaviest of sleepers would be irritated.

Moths are beautiful and eerie nocturnal creatures; they use a celestial navigation system which keeps them flying in a straight line, but however are unable to resist bright objects nearby.

In Moth, by using two violins, I have juxtaposed the serene attraction of the bright light, with the nervous and agitated behaviour of a single moth. Placing the violin parts closely together – both striving for a common goal, yet always in conflict with each other – I have attempted to portray the struggle of the poor creature who is forever trying to reach the moon.

Tutukaka is a reflective work inspired by Tutukaka in Northland, New Zealand. The work is based around a lyrical melody that is first played by the violin at the start of
the piece. The melody gently carries memories of isolated beaches, watching the tides ebb and flow and the powerful feeling of standing on the tip of a headland looking out
into the ocean.

The music in turn visits other memories; the swirling waves at Matapouri beach, watching a lighthouse glow unfailingly every night and seagulls scavenging around the fishing boats.

Throughout the last two summers, a tui has sung the same uncharacteristically repetitive song behind my house. This melodic fragment appears as a cadential echo to the flow of the music. The most immediate image is of gentle fluvial movement, agitated by falling drops and stronger currents. Yet beneath the surface there is an insistence, an energy in suspension.
