Music for people who lose people

work 2008 (15 min)

Music for people who lose people is in two parts. Both parts are concerned with questioning the difference between exact repetition and music that is always being slightly varied. The first part is unashamed in its harmonic stasis while the second part tried to pretend that the harmony is going somewhere but can’t really find a good destination. This work was commissioned with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland.
