Cities & Sunsets

On Sun­day, my tape piece from last sum­mer in­spired by the light­ness and quick­ness of aural ex­pe­ri­ence in urban spaces, La leg­gerezza delle città, will be played as part of the 15th bian­nual Man­ches­ter The­atre in Sound (MAN­TIS) Fes­ti­val. This edi­tion bears the title ‘Man­ches­ter’s Sonic Meta-on­tol­ogy’ and will ex­plore Man­ches­ter’s sounds through a va­ri­ety of con­certs and in­stal­la­tion pieces. You can find it here on Face­book.

On Mon­day, my solo piano work 3 Sun­sets re­ceives its sec­ond per­for­mance by good friend Se­bas­t­ian Grand. He plays a pro­gramme of land­scape-in­spired works that also in­cludes Ligeti’s Arc-en-ciel, Takemitsu’s Rain Tree II and Cage’s In a Land­scape in a short af­ter­noon recital at the Royal Acad­emy of Music. It’s in the David Jose­fowitz Recital Hall at 2pm.
