Product details

Available via Bandcamp.

Commissioned by the Monash Art Ensemble, Andrea's composition is a response to the feelings and experiences that accompanied the 2020/2021 Pandemic induced lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia.

The work begins by setting the space with Opening. The second movement Still - encapsulates the sense of stillness that lockdown brought with it. This is followed by Cog which captures feelings of displacement and the uncertainty of shifting territories. The Interlude is characterised by an impassioned melody that possesses feelings of frustration and anguish in response to the situation. There is a return to stillness with Languishing which features improvised interludes prompted by the words "quiet despair". The conclusion comes with Systems Over-Ride a plea to re-evaluate past ways of living and being.
