As part of the Hilltown New Music Festival, being held in the grounds of Hilltown House in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 15-16-17 July 2011, one of my improvisations, Quaking Aspen, will be presented as part of the Close to the sound – Behind the melody – Near the Inaudible call for works. The piece will be presented alongside numerous other compositions in The Herds Lounge Listening Room. Thanks to all at the Hilltown New Music Festival for their support.
