Work Details

Paris was composed for Silo String Quartet in 2004 and was included on the Soundtrack to Lost and Found, an Australian feature film by David Blake (2006). In 2004, i had recently returned from living and working in Europe, touring with a world/pop band. I needed to redirect my life after it had fallen into an exhausted heap. Touring is not for the fainthearted, nor is it wise for homebody introverts. Returning to Melbourne, i dropped my cello and started composing instead. Paris the String Quartet was written as a compositional study on Eric Satie’s famous cadence avoidance. It was intended only to be played at scratch gigs with my friends in SiloSQ. David Blake licenced Paris, Andado and a few other of my tracks for his film and had members of SiloSQ act in the film in minor roles playing characters based on eachother (I played the Viola as a poor imitation of actual Violist Ceridwen Davies). David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz of The Movie Show slammed my soundtrack as ‘repetitive and mornful’. Delighted at the scathing review from everyone’s favourite SBS legends, SiloSQ was quickly cemented as the creative home i had lost but not found in Paris.
