Work Overview
This short piece was written for the Centenary of Canberra celebrations. The theme for this concert was water and hence the title Clepsydra or Water clock. I was inspired by some of the images of waterclocks from ancient times to modern designs.
Just like a waterclock, this piece doesn't stop running. The piano is musically the engine that powers the clock. Although very short, this piece is very intense due to the non-stop playing of most of the instruments.
