22 Apr 2011 Moon, Tides & Shoreline - extract from the new Whitehead biography by Noel Sanders
In the mid-1970s, the New Zealand-born composer Gillian Whitehead worked in Europe, dividing her time between London and Hoy, one of the Orkney Islands, a full 24-hour trip away.
'It was [in Orkney] that my harmonic language first began to soften; I began to eliminate strident or urban sounds from my vocabulary. Sometimes you write to put up a wall between yourself and other sounds, and, at other times, your ears are wide open to stretch to the horizon, which can totally change your aural perspective', wrote Whitehead later.
The following extract of the new Whitehead biography, Moon, Tides and Shoreline, is published here by the kind permission from the publisher Steele Roberts (NZ).
