about

This piece, virtually a miniature piano concerto, is a celebration of the abstract nature of music, its ability to speak to something within us beyond reason. It was conceived without external inspiration, hence its title, looking for primitive expression through pulse-melody, unpredictable gestures and chords seemingly pulled from the ground. Eight melodies used in the traditional sense, sometimes a complete line and sometimes two notes, pervade the length of the work but are almost inconsequential.

Their insertion makes little sense and for that reason I enjoy their presence.

Composer Bio: Peggy Oliveira (b.1987)

Pedro Oliveira Woolmer graduated with a Bachelor of Music (Composition) degree with first class honours from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music after studying with Damien Ricketson, Trevor Pearce and most recently with Nigel Butterley. In 2008 he worked on a collaborative project with a local artist, combining his five-movement work, Quartet for Flute, Violin, Viola and Guitar, with five associated paintings based heavily on deities of mythology.

Pedro is also an accomplished pianist, winning a number of competitions and playing in gala concerts across the state. Currently he spends most of his time teaching piano.
