Work Overview
Not Everything but Enough is a piece based on melody and
different types of interplay between the piano, double bass, and
drums. It begins in a reflective fashion with a collective
improvisation where the players are free to choose the content
and density of the music. This leads to the composition which is
set out in three sections. The first section is based around a
lyrical repeated phrase played on the piano supported by a rapid
ostinato played on the double bass, and a chiming ostinato played
on the glockenspiel.
The second section features a harmonically expanding piano part,
arco double bass, and atmospheric sounds played on the drums.
The third section is a return the first piano and double ostinato
idea, but this time the drummer plays rhythmically and strongly
synchronising with the double bass player. The pianist develops
rhythmic variations as this part progresses (see additional
figures score). There is a sudden halt of activity and return to
quiet improvisation to finish.
