The ICA is hosting a mini-season on ‘Notation and Interpretation‘ until the 20th February that includes some fantastic performances and workshops. Lucy Railton has also curated a superbly eclectic range of scores that will be on display in the Fox reading room and I’m proud to say one of my scores is in the mix. However, at the moment Ollie and I are in session at STEIM in Amsterdam, working on new Icarus material, so I’ll miss the whole thing … any reflections much appreciated.
I’ve been very fortunate to be selected for the London Sinfonietta’s ‘Writing The Future‘ scheme. Six of us have been paired with musicians from the Sinfonietta to realise a solo piece that will be performed and recorded sometime in 2011. I chose to write for percussion and have started collaborating with David Hockings on the piece, which although in its infancy has already witnessed a myriad of percussion items harnessed to evoke a maelstrom of digital rituals that seem to accompany our every virtual intervention.
