room (1997)

14 minutes for piano. First performed by Richard Casey, Manchester University, February 1998. Imagine what it would be like to be incarcerated in a small, enclosed area, having no contact with the outside world and no hope of escape. The ‘room’ of the title refers to this imaginary space and was the starting point of the piece. The music runs in one continuous movement, travelling through some nineteen variants which are often extremes of contrast.
