Description:
I was immediately struck by Roma Potiki’s powerful words and strong, stark images — dark, impassioned, spiky and percussive, and begging to be coaxed into sound. The song should be delivered as a kind of ritual: intense, urgent, yet contained and still. The piano part has an uncompromising quality, with a palpable intensity. Much of its material is percussive, either on the body of the instrument, or a few prepared notes. This song is dedicated to the memory of my husband Ken, who died in 2021.
