noise at the death of one beloved

Collage of layered improvisations, recorded 8th February 2022.

In memoriam George Crumb (1929 - 2022)

"On the 8th February 2022 I recorded sixteen improvisations of between three and fifteen minutes, using the instruments in my home. I then fragmented and layered these improvisations into a collage in five parts. George Crumb's work opened my eyes and ears to otherworldly sounds and shapes; the beauty of his scores and the sensitivity of his writing has stuck with me through years of music making. These contemplative improvisations seem like a fitting tribute to a truly incredible artistic voice."

Part IV was featured in BBC Radio 3's Freeness show's New Year episode, 2023.
