about

As one of Creative Scotland’s ‘20for14’ commissions I travelled around the country to see the impact the Commonwealth Games had throughout Scotland, before, during and after the event. During this I developed an album of new folk music capturing 5 images of the Games in Scotland, from the perspective of an ‘on- looker.’
Based on research into Debussy’s music this project experimented with the concept of capturing a particular moment and/or ‘image’, with an aim to developing an original approach to folk writing. I wrote a piano prelude as part of the DISTIL project last year allowing me to scratch the surface of this idea but this project has been a great opportunity to fully develop the concept.
