THE DOOR OF NO RETURN (2020-2021) & NEW CHEVALIER SONATA (c.1779/2022) are multi-instrumental sonatas, linked by their different perspectives on Black history.
Kathleen Carter Bell and Sarah Rushing's moving & virtuosic interpretation of The Door can be seen in the narrative video, above, which depicts the programme behind the piece. Sarah Roper and Ignacio Torner's superlative performance of the transcribed sonata by Bologne/Talbot-Howard can be watched in the third video, below. Find out more about The New Chevalier Sonata ...

MY FIRST VLOG (published on 22 May 2024) represents my first attempt at creating an amusing and informative genre video, featuring some popular music and a taster of J.S. Bach, in addition to mine. The new film of Ego Flos Campi presents a great performance by Steph Barker and Leo Nicholson.

"Thank you both SO much for the wonderful energy behind this creation. I loved the whole thing, and the music and the images made a strong impression on me. I had to read quick and will watch and listen to it again and read more of the information. The sea is such a powerful metaphor with the breathed phrases, and not just pretty sea pictures, I know the double edged imagery is tinged also with grief and sadness. Interestingly I don’t hear anger. The gorgeous happy faces of the children and the women dancing is also an abiding memory.
Thank you both for the artistic friendship and collaboration across the sea.Also, going off to practise my B Major scales now..."
