Tales of the Traveller

Composed for soloist (any instrument) and chamber ensemble (including electric guitar and electric bass), Tales of the Traveler was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta, who gave the world premiere in 2016 with conductor Ilan Volkov and guitarist Fred Frith. Over the course of a single, 22-minute movement, the ensemble perform from strictly composed parts, while the soloist’s part is entirely improvised in response to suggestions from the composer: direct imitation is discouraged, while “use of noise (whatever that may mean in this context) is encouraged.”
