Excerpt from Repetepetition:
Programme NotesBasement Art Guru and other pieces
- is a series of short compositional etudes, each one exploring a particular facet of compositional techniques.
The Big 5-0
- was written in honour of the 50th birthday of Fr. Arthur Ernest Bridge, and uses only the note-names FAEB (i.e. from his name).
Basement Art Guru
- takes as a starting point a theme by Australian composer
- and rearranges it in different ways, much like an anagram rearranges letters in a word to form new words.
2+5<> 6
- is certainly a strange title for a composition. In this composition the intervals between simultaneous or consecutive note are limited to a minor second, a perfect fifth or a major sixth.
Repetepetition
- takes as a starting point the process of repeating a section of material and either adding material to it or taking some away.
