quintet was recipient of the 2024 Tracey Chadwell Memorial Prize.

Programme noteThe musical materials used in quintet come from several different sources. They are mainly from un-used sketches and drafts of my older pieces, but there are also newly devised materials. I worked by surrounding myself with these scraps and slowly bringing them together as layers which roll over loosely, attaching to and detaching from one another, some solidifying and others fading away.

With many thanks to Mark Knoop and Plus-Minus Ensemble.
