Additional Information

Written for Apartment House and premiered by them at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea.

Performed as part of "De La Warhol," during the pavilion's 2011 Andy Warhol retrospective, the piece takes a fragment of a speech by Mao Tse-Tung and repeatedly sets it to mutating harmonies and orchestrations, analogous to a series of screen prints in varying hues.
