4-hands keyboard

Premiered by the Aarhus Symphony and the British pianists Philip Mead and Stephen Gutman. Much of the source material for the tape part was recorded on a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand, and subsequently digitally edited and collaged into the pre-recorded material. The sequence of pitches, E-flat, B-flat, A, E, appears in the tape part at the beginning, and serves as the basis of organization for the entire work. The tape part was realized during a residency at the Danish Institute of Elecroacoustic Music (DEIM) in May 1993. The solo piano parts were written in a concerto-like virtuosic style. The recording (Capstone, SCI), was made in cooperation with the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.

Excerpt, Aarhus Symphony, Philip Mead and Stephen Gutman, pianists 1994

This work, for soprano and piano four-hand, was commissioned by Mme Thérèse Planiol, French scientist and poet. The stirring, dreamlike poem invokes foggy reminiscences - remembrances of love lost. The piece was commissioned specifically for the somewhat unorthodox, but effective, medium.
