Had she lived, #LindsayCooper would have turned 75 yesterday. She was my favourite #HenryCow member, both in terms of her distinctive woodwind contributions but also her astounding compositional ideas - see Western Culture, side 2. Still, I reckon her post-Cow work is even better. The beautiful scores she wrote for various #SallyPotter-directed projects stand as some of the best politically-engaged #experimentalmusic of the 80s. RIP.

An astoundingly beautiful, endlessly fascinating re-imagination of both the gorgeous surfaces and mysterious, hidden depths of six classics of the Western canon. My jaw is on the floor.

"Puntos y líneas" approaches music as spatial writing — points of tension, lines of continuity, and silence as structure. A contemporary exploration of form and sound.

"Life in fast motion" is a contemporary work for orchestra and electronics, shaped by acceleration, contrast, and constant movement. A reflection on time, intensity, and living at high speed.

The Ten Thousand Things

"Printre lumi: Amorf" portrays the fragile boundary between love and absence. The score follows their journey through intimacy, rupture, and the echoes left in between.
