6pm


Simon Desorgher (flutes; computers) and Sally Mays (Piano)
with Matt Saunders (sound projection)
perform

Ian Clarke                       Orange Dawn
(flute and piano)

David Sutton-Anderson      Deer's Cry
(flute and electronics)

Avril Anderson            Juillet
(solo piano) 

Simon Desorgher                Improvisation
(flutes plus computer/sensor system designed by David Stevens)

Simon Desorgher          Mature Person's Guide to the Flute
(fl and pno)

 

Orange Dawn was inspired by the vision of a dawn scene in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.  Aternative flute fingerings are used to help create a mysterious earthy quality to the sound. 

The Deer's Cry is a prayer written by St. Patrick: 'I arise today through splendour of fire, swiftness of wind, depth of sea, stability of earth, I arise'. The four movements are Clear Water, Whispering Wind, Flickering Fire and Earth'e Lullaby. The work commissioned by Hannah Money and first performed at the Barnstaple Colourscape Festival by Simon Desorgher in June of this year.

Juillet was commissioned by the pianist Claire van Kampen with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain.  It is the first of a set of solo instrumental pieces bearing the title of one of eleven months in French.

Simon Desorgher’s improvisation performance uses a new computer-music sampling and sensor system devised by composer David Stevens.  Movement, direction and pressure sensors are controlled by the player so that live flute samples are built up into a whole orchestra of new flute sounds.

Mature Person’s Guide to the Flute was commissioned by Sounds Positive Ensemble in Purcell’s 300th anniversary year.  Purcell’s famous theme is re-worked into a set of variations exploring new sounds and ways of playing the flute.
