Had a whirlwind of a time composing a new solo cello work for David Moran, titled, "Working hands weight under the cello: 10 actions for David", as part of the inaugural MUD: Composer-in-Residence in Adelaide/Kaurna Country. As part of the program, we put on a workshop discussing composer-performer dynamics and process, class, notions of authorship, generosity and solidarity in the arts; and concluded with a concert that featured David performing the work-in-progress, and ensemble performances with Tina Stefanou, Gabriella Smart, Tadhg Porter-Cameron and myself. Huge thanks to MUD, Ern Malley, Nexus Arts and most importantly, the musical collaborators. Supported by the City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters. Photos by Paul Gallasch.
