About the work

There is something magical about being able to transform the type of sound produced by an electronic keyboard. In this piece there is plenty of opportunity for players to search out appropriate sounds, and the piece uses the ability to fade the volume in and out of silence. The piece is made of four ‘magical moments’, each fading in and out of silence. The piece is part of a collection published by Forum London Composers’ Group
