Product details

Hope, in full, is an album I released through ABC Classic in 2021: a suite for piano, string quartet and electronics. This title track is the final piece, also arranged for symphony orchestra.

Hope in this context is an abbreviation of both hopeful and hopeless; and the music explores the space between. The album was written in 2020 in Melbourne- it began with the Black Summer bushfires, the smell of smoke in my house; and was completed in the long second covid-19 lockdown. It's a suite that addresses many challenging themes: climate change, relationships, disability, society, politics, covid-19.

The purpose of this final piece is create a cathartic space for us to hold all of these challenges, together. To acknowledge everything we've been through in the past two years; grieve everything we've lost. And whilst mindfully sitting with our grief, disappointment and frustration; also turning towards the future with a sense of quiet, hopeful, optimism. There are brighter days ahead.
