Stephen Montague
“Stephen Montague is a huge influence on the way I write and listen to music. He experiments texturally was written in 1995 as a memorial to victims of nuclear wars, in particular the Hiroshima bomb. In it, he uses old war recordings, tape machines, typewriters and wine glasses. This piece can be adapted in all sorts of ways to fit the instrumentation available. It’s fascinating, it’s exciting and it inspires me greatly. It’s like a kaleidoscope, it’s never a static thing. It’s continually living and breathing.
