Outlines is my new sextet, playing my original compositions. The music evolved out of my Developing Your Creative Practice project (funded by Arts Council England.) Using small visual art sketches as a complementary creative channel, I experimented with composing short musical sketches that stood alone as artistic statements. These short statements are ‘Outlines’ – a springboard for this dynamic ensemble to go in new, exciting directions every time. The sextet played these compositions for the first time at The Vortex on 2nd September in preparation for our album recording that October, to be released on Whirlwind Recordings in 2022.
