Meditations is a work which exists in two versions; one for chamber quintet in five movements (2019), and one for chamber septet in four movements (2017). In both versions, the cello takes a soloistic role throughout, leading the other instruments through panels or "meditations" on unknown words. Written during a period of challenging personal upheaval, the work is a attempt to create sonic space for introspection, and to permit emotions, thoughts, and states to pass through unhindered.

Premiered by the Glasgow New Music Expedition in 2018. Recorded by Bob Whitney.
