giant flying laser scorpion with wings
11/05/2026 for piano and cassette recorder
Composer’s note
This piece has nothing to do with lasers or scorpions!
Around 2003 I wrote two short movements for piano at the request of a playwright in Canada. Nothing really came of the project, but I've always wanted to hear the music again.
Now, at the age of 65, looking back on my younger composing self, I have mixed feelings: both about that time in my life and the notes I put on paper. In recomposing the piece for 2026 I've taken the opportunity to add a hint of nostalgia.
Performance
Yenglik Karassartova played the piece at the Conservatoire on the composer's 65th birthday :)
