High octane, high electric ; my works do aim at highest targets, high result, high effects intended.
Take my recent 9 miniature Duets for Cello and Piano ( 2015 ) and their ( legitimate ? ) use of 8 of our greatest Irish Slow Airs …. Mixolydian, sarabande – derived, A B B A architectural form mostly. Dare I ? Should I? Touch linear ( and anti-harmonic, anti European ) and ornamented perfection ?
High octane; my cello is a sean nos singer, the piano is my orchestra. Aim high. Higher.
