Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world;
the luminous world is that which we do not see.
Our eyes of flesh see only night.

Victor Hugo

Hale, 2011, for solo bass trombone, alto flute, clarinet, contrabass clarinet, cello and pre-recorded tape.
‘Dum spiro spero. While I breathe, I hope’

Hale is a sonic meditation on life and death, dedicated to the memory of my mother Brya who died in August 2011. Intimate, incantatory and nostalgic, it contains few instrumental lines, but rather seeks to present a contained meditative ritual in which the listener may reflect on issues of mortality. Recordings of breathing, Brya’s poems, fleeting memories of Bach, church bells and birds provide a sonic halo to the heartbeat tread of the cello and the trombone’s keening of a tune based on Flanagan and Allen’s Hometown.

Leave your shadow when you go So your going’s not complete And I’ll have your company In thin measure till we meet

by Brya Kings (1931 – 2011)

When Silencio Ensemble asked me to write the original piece, it was suggested that I write something inspired by or relevant to Canterbury – one possibility being a piece inspired by the landscape. In a funny kind of way, Mad Cow-Farmer’s Disease is inspired by the landscape – going to a Canterbury river and seeing the signs that say “Do Not Swim” or another where cows are loose in the riverbed and cow shit is all over the place.

It is inspired by dry riverbeds surrounded by farms with pumps constantly irrigating the land – the premise being that any ounce of water that makes it to the sea is wasted. These same farmers, self-titled “environmentalists,” use hypothetical science to justify their wanton destruction of the natural environment.

Cambodia’s long, chequered history spans the vibrant, ancient Khmer culture to the country’s hopeful, modern aspect, but is overshadowed by the devastation of the Pol Pot regime. More than 1.7 million people perished through starvation, disease, overwork and execution, including most of the country’s artists and intellectuals. Now a widespread effort has been made to preserve the country’s 1,000-year-old arts, which were on the brink of extinction.

Cambodia’s tragic recent history provides the inspiration for O Cambodia.
