As the title suggests still-life with visitations consists of an immobile sub- structure upon which various kinds of musical identities manifest themselves: a kind of sound-painting moving in time. The ‘visitations’ are comprised of related musical materials that are modally transfigured and usually moving at a different tempo, suggesting openings or recollections of other times/configurations. It is a quiet piece a departure for myself and for The Collective.
First Performed: The Collective, 14 September 2002, scale variable chamber music series Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, University of Western Australia
