Electro-Brass – a commission for Durham Brass Festival
And I am currently embarking on a new commission in collaboration with fellow Manchester based composer and trumpet player Eve Harrison. Electro-Brass is a playful exploration of the often overlooked mechanical and physical sounds of playing brass instruments. The audience will journey from creative manipulation of the inner mechanical sounds of the instruments into the pure and lyrical melodies for which brass are reknown and finally be uplifted by the celebratory fusion of electronic and acoustic music for the closing beat-led fanfare. The piece will premiere at Durham Brass Festival in July 2014.
Bring on the year of the HORSE! And, well wishing and wishing wells if needed to you dear visitor..
