In April, 2024 Keyboard Percussion Publications released Clear Things May Not Be Seen, a piece I composed during 2017/18, as part of an ongoing project to set text by the American author Conrad Aiken. It is scored for two soprano soloists, string quartet, clarinet, bass clarinet, marimba and vibraphone, and lasts approximately 13 minutes. The piece was premiered in Toronto in February, 2020 on the Canadian Opera Company’s Vocal/Chamber Music Series at the Four Seasons Centre.
During 2022/23 I was able to make professional recordings of both Clear Things and an older, but much more substantial work, Time in the Rock. Anyone interested in downloading audio files of either work may contact me through this website, or directly at xylomusic@aol.com.
