Ebb and Flow  - The outer movements were both generated from improvised ideas that stuck in my head. While Ebb wonders off into increasingly unfamiliar territory, Flow maintains a closer relationship with its origins. Interlude was inspired by a homeless man who sits in the centre of Piccadilly Circus in London. This man sings a haunting melody - three short phrases repeated over and over - using a plastic construction site ‘witches hat’ to amplify his falsetto, so that his simple wordless song wafts across the tourists and the traffic and the general cacophony that is present at the heart of one of the worlds busiest and richest cities. I find this contradiction unsettling.
