33per - Flashing silver (WINNER)

about

Pat Boran says:

“Opening with aquatic, rhythmic & almost danceable sounds, this piece explores fittingly granular textures and merges them with an intriguing melody (two small steps followed by a gentle fall), making this a distinctive, positive-feeling and engaging piece, quite some distance from the music I might have had in mind myself when I wrote the book, but perhaps all the better for that. Rather than provide a backdrop to the haiku, Flashing Silver seems to move off in a new direction. In doing so, the fact that it hangs so much on making a groove an intimate part of its response seems all the more welcome: there’s nothing in the ‘rulebook’ that says haiku has to be without play or humour, and of course in these particular haiku I have myself introduced an ingredient that is normally rarely present or there only by accident — i.e., rhyme. The melodic confidence here makes this an unforgettable piece that takes the haiku as perhaps only a starting point but is also a reminder that spoken word and music can be brave and distinctive in trying out new ways to respond to and communicate with each other.”
