piano
piece (2006) Starting from nothing except the idea of the sound
of the instrument, and the possibility of anything. From this starting point, then tracing a path
through this limitless field of constant possibility. Focusing on the present. Every moment in the piece
as a beginning. piano
piece (2007) To work, for a period of time, until that work and
time is over. Working, and the resultant work itself, as a means
of knowledge, an instrument of exploration; which is therefore always beyond
oneself, in advance of one's intelligence and faith. (Paraphrased from a
quotation by René Girard) Tim Parkinson Arrayed neatly, but in dislocated
sequence, across clean white pages using a standard music notation software,
the material of Tim Parkinson's piano pieces suggests anonymity. Traces of other musics may be suggested by
some of the material, though the focus for the performer is on projecting the
sounds without the clutter of imposed interpretative rhetoric. In so doing both composer and performer
declare themselves and this beautiful music is revealed. Philip Thomas |
