For Clare Dwyer Hogg’s play my aim was to encapsulate the play’s compliacted, resonant and sore moods in a few short bars. Barry Douglas did me the honour of recording the music.
For a concert the following year in Chateau La Coste in Aix-en-Provemce, I developed these few bars into a 7-minute piece for solo piano, a work dedicated to Stephen Rea and Barry Douglas, a piece I titled “memento, homo”.
