Lonely bay with its evocative title was written for and commissioned by cellist Peter Gregson—it uses looping technology so that whatever I play comes back 40 seconds later. I have to place my notes, and then listen to see how and where to place subsequent entries. It feels like chamber music in this respect, and turns out radically different every time as you can never predict how the sounds will stack up.
