Hands, Face, Space (2021)
realized on Dorico

Composed during the Covid-19 pandemic. ‘Hands, Face, Space’ was part of the UK’s public health campaign.

Was wondering when a Pandemic composition would reach your channel! Great mesmerizing stuff!

Minimalistic, remainds me of Philip Glass but also Bach. I like the electronic effect and atmosphere that you get while listening. You can also feel how covid shows up when the bass line enters with a long note. Scary and deep. The 16s represent how busy the world was, machines, people buying, traffic and then covid screwed it up.

Great! Several reminiscences of Bach - I definitely heard some of preludes, Christmas Oratorio and Johannes Passion, at least one of Beethoven (Pathetique), and I think other things I didn't realize. A surprising piece.

I actually like this more than some of Glass's works

Generally the pathos of a standard minimalist score Is the same for all time the piece: a perpetuum mobile.. this Is minimalist with Dynamic pathos, where the sensation of mobile Is only apparently perpetuum....like scores of certains few giants in this genre: this guy has true talent: Good, very good

Interesting composition. I'd like to hear it orchestrated.

Es ist meine erste Gelegenheit, dieses einzigartige Werk anzuhören. Klingt ein bisschen bedrohlich doch etwas bezaubernd. Danke fürs seltene Onlinestellen!

This was realised on Dorico? I couldn’t tell it wasn’t a performer who was just experienced in minimalist technique
