A Single Domino, Pushed
(2024) string ensemble & spoken work
A collaboration with poet Chris Redmond, the title is a quote from Chris’ poem The architect saving her city from drowning, and other stories, which is recited with the music in performance.
This piece, alongside much of Chris’ work, seeks to highlight the more positive stories of efforts made by communities across the world in responding to the climate crisis. And looks to the future, hopeful that changes already being made in industries such as agriculture and technology will topple over and instigate faster and faster development in making our societies sustainable.
Commissioned by Manchester Camerata through the orchestra’s Ruth Sutton 360° Fellowship and premiered at the RNCM’s 2024 Original Voices Festival.
