Following a year of reflection on my relationship with people and places, it seemed the right moment to have receievd this commission for ‘The Music & Meditation Podcast’ on BBC Radio 3 which is specifically to be included in an epsiode which looks at our relationship with softening social anxiety.
This condition is something I have received several rounds of treatment for in recent years, and one of the remedies has been the stillness and silence found in large, empty spaces.
‘silent stones’ is an improvisation and reimagining of an existing work of mine - ‘Locus iste’.
