about

Home By Another Way was a long time in the making. I wrote the opening of the piece while tinkering on a piano in a flat in Edinburgh in 2009. I was looking for a beautiful yet ambiguous texture to in some way express the unknown possibilities of our then fledgling trio. I wrote some accompanying figures on guitar later that year in Melbourne, and discovered the melodies while walking through a leafy suburb of Edinburgh, determined not to go home until I had finally finished it! The piece for me reflects the unexpected and unpredictable, the cracks in normality and the unforeseen that enrich, enlighten and inspire.
