Spicer's 'Hydrogen' For Flute & Electronics Performed At Malmo's Music Academy By Aimee de Gruchy-Lambert

The talented flutist Aimee de Gruchy-Lambert performed my composition 'Hydrogen' for flute and electronics at Sweden's Musikhogskolan i Malmo in late December. The piece employs multiphonics and extended technique for flute and is inspired by bebop and contemporary jazz solos. The piece is fast and twisting and has an electronic soundscape created using MAX-MSP and Reason software. There is a recording of the performance.

The Brake Drum Assembly To Play Andi Spicer's Percussion Piece 'Baobab' At Henry Wood Hall In London

The London-based percussion quartet Brake Drum Assembly are to perform my Baobab piece on Saturday 28th February at the Henry Wood Hall in London. Sadly, I won't be attending as I have to go to Birmingham that weekend. This is the fifth time this composition has been played and I'm very pleased it's had such a good track record. Baobab is hard to play as it involves polyrhythms inspired by mbira music from southern Africa. Also interesting is that Oli Mayne, who was the BDA's vibes player is now resident in Budapest, so I imagine that a new member will be playing the vibraphone.
