Distortions was well received after its first performance last Thurs (5th Feb) at Chapter Arts Centre, in the gallery containing Karen Mirza & Brad Butler’s video work The Unreliable Narrator.  It was extremely rewarding to hear the piece played so well, and to be able to hear it in situ, surrounded by the powerful artwork that inspired it.  The performers were Sam Baxter (oboe), Darius Gray (clarinet/bass clarinet), Beatrice Newman (cello) and Harriet Riley (percussion).  Each did an excellent job, and I’m looking  forward to them making a studio recording of the piece.
