  • An etude for Trumpet and Lump Hammer that explores a corner of improvisation that challenges the preparatory resources of the instrumentalist, thanks to an evolving instrument that itself is becoming less and less playable with each hammer blow.
    This piece would not have been possible without the help of the wonderful Andrew Toovey, Grizzly Jim Kent and Richard Cornock.

    As funny and theatrical as this is, my main takeaway was the fascinating indeterminacy. You never can know just what the timbre will be after the next hammer blow, but the melody remains recognizable throughout, even as the instrument literally falls apart.
