New recording of 'Asterion & Theseus'

I’m delighted to share this recording of my piece ‘Asterion & Theseus’, performed brilliantly by the ever-inspiring Danae Killian, as part of the premiere season with Forest Collective at Abbotsford Convent.

This piece represents the culminating scene of my dance-opera-piano concerto ‘Labyrinth’, with a libretto by Daniel Szesiong Todd. His vivid portrayal of the dark and cruel world of the Minotaur made it easy to compose music that fits within it.

The piece begins with a depiction of the Minotaur sleeping, followed by Theseus’ battle with the monster, its death, and then its body slowly breathing its final breaths. Can you spot the little musical quote woven into the work?
