Programme Note

Through my eyes, I see is a work for piano and percussion that explores different percussive timbres, rhythmic relationships and devices. This exploration is framed by the clear pentatonic base, contrasted with the inner ‘vibraphone’ modal tonality. Also, the idea of a musical ‘energy’ strongly characterised the direction of this work.
The early stages of Through my eyes, I see was workshopped at the 2006 Nelson Composers Workshop. Since then, ideas rebirthed and redeveloped into this larger and more exciting piece of music.
