Product details
Mike Nock returned to Australia in 1985 after spending 25 years
in the US where he established an international reputation
through his many tours and recordings. Although primarily known
as a jazz composer his music has been commissioned and performed
by such as the Cleveland Chamber Orchestra (USA), The New Zealand
Piano Quartet & New Zealand String Quartet, The Australian
Chamber Orchestra, Synergy, Ensemble 24 and Melbourne Windpower
among many others.
"One of the greatest moments of inspiration I had while at school
in the '70s was hearing the music of Mike Nock. He, along with
the early George Duke, Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, Paul
Grabowsky, Martha Argerich and Zoltan Kocsis convinced me that
the piano was worth spending a lifetime exploring. I couldn't
believe he was so closely connected with Australia. One of the
benefits of time is that opportunities to work with one's heroes
become more probable, even if still unlikely - a little like the
beginnings of life. Mike's lyrical approach and harmonic
sophistication have kept his language fresh over the last 30
years, and open to ever more innovations. I think these short
essays prove this. It's difficult to pin down an improviser to a
definitive version of a work, much as it's difficult for an
interpreter to settle on a definite execution of a music
blueprint. The contained energy in attempting the unattainable
however makes for compelling music." - Michael Kieran
Harvey
"A chance remark from Michael Kieran Harvey after attending a
master class given by him in August 1999, was the seed that led
to me to finally sit down and meet the challenge of writing a
collection of fully notated piano pieces. Being an improvisor
most of my musical life my music has generally been written with
a minimum of information, to hopefully inspire and encourage my
fellow musicians to follow the whim of the moment. Although I've
written many scores for larger ensembles, writing fully notated
pieces for the instrument I play daily has been my biggest
musical challenge so far, as my ingrained habits as an improvisor
make me want to modify the compositions nearly every time I play
them. My constant editing has often caused problems for many
classically trained musicians who have expressed interest in
performing my piano pieces. I'm therefore indebted beyond words
to Michael Kieran Harvey, for persisting to the point of actually
recording this music, as I realise my obsessive revisions must
have often seemed to have had no end in sight. The pieces
themselves are quite eclectic, the main unifying elements being
they are all written for the piano and are a sonic diary of my
life over the past several years. The result of a wide range of
influences, this music includes arrangements/adaptations of
pieces I've been playing for a long time, along with music
specifically written for this collection." - Mike
Nock
Duration: 70 min.
Booklet includes introductory and programme notes by the composer, and biographical notes on composer and performer.
