trio was created as part of the Voiceworks collaborative project at Guildhall, where composers are paired with singers and writers to create a new work.

In this piece I wanted to involve the voice as an instrument within the three-person dynamic, rather than writing a song. The material is based on just two large chords, but which we are only ever able to hear different parts of through the small ensemble.

Thanks to Hella, Connor, Kathryn, and Alexia for being great collaborators. Thank you to Paul for his guidance and advice.
