Work Overview

Simon Reade visited me in Berlin for a week in 2009. On the 4th of June we went to a concert where Pierre Boulez conducted orchestrations of his "Notations". We sat directly behind the percussion. My ears responded immediately to the flowering harmonies. In the course of his visit Simon suggested I write something short for wind band - a kind of "calling card" piece.

interaction resulted out of Simon's visit, our conversations and having heard (and seen) Boulez conducting his "Notations".
