1,000 Curious Ears 1,000 Curious Ears is a community listening project, aiming to support Australian art music composers, performers, improvisers and sound artists reach the 1,000 annual plays needed to receive Spotiโ€ฆ

One of my great joys this year has been working with print maker Doug Webb to create monthly covers for the 1,000 Curious Ears project - aiming to get Australian art music creators enough plays to be paid on Spotify.

The above consortium helps fund the work, and lets you be the first to get your hands on the collection.

Much like Palette Pieces, the solo works are aimed at early university level, & should be a good challenge for hobbyist pianists as well.

Consortium: Palette Etudes for Piano Lead by Australian concert pianist Coady Green, Palette Etudes will be a collection of 24 piano etudes inspired by colours in the first palette of Australian composer and watercolourist Cameron Lamโ€ฆ

Thank you so much for your support of the 24 Palette Pieces books. The most common question I get is whether thereโ€™s one for piano.

So, Iโ€™m partnering with concert pianist & Australian music champion Coady Green to recompose the collection as a set of Palette Etudes.

...the ancient Norns tending to the Well of Destiny from which Yggdrasilโ€™s roots drink. These stories culminate in the ultimate cataclysm, Ragnarok literally โ€œTwilight of the Godsโ€, and Yggdrasilโ€™s rebirth from the ashes of that destruction, marking the beginning of a new world.

Through combinations of these elements, the stories of Yggdrasil unfold: the birth of the giant Ash tree Yggdrasil, Rattatosk the squirrel running up and down its trunk spreading nasty rumours between the eagle who lives in the canopy and the serpent who lives at the roots...

Here though, Iโ€™ve chosen to look at things on a larger scale โ€“ the creation and destruction (Ragnarok) of the worlds with which Yggdrasil is tied.

The work splits the ensemble into three parts: Yggdrasil (contrabass clarinet), Fire - primordial Chaos (woodwinds) & Ice - primordial Stasis (brass).

This concerto based on #Norse myth of #Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which connects the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. It plays host to many of the great myths of this culture such as the hanging of Odin and Lokiโ€™s betrayal of the Frost giants.
