Written for 'The Assembly Project' and the St Magnus Festival Composer's Course. (Premiere conducted by Mark Biggins)
My primary concern when writing this work was to collect and combine sonic and performative gestures that to me felt analogous to human instances of naivety, vulnerability, shyness and clumsiness. In Wine Lips, I engage with the idea of moments appearing and passing with little development, with one example being the use of uneven voicings of familiar, often triadic harmonic figurations, which sit outside of a ‘functional’ sense of teleology.
