about

Composition 2021.01 (Untitled) is based on an eight-note tone-cell of C - D - D# - E - F - F# - A# - B - and consists of fourteen repeating dyads and triads. The Open AI BPT-4 programme was used to determine the order of the different harmonic elements.

Composition 2021.02 (Untitled) consists of a repeating pedal note of C2 that alternates with different single tones - dyads - and triads.

Composition 2021.04 (Untitled) is based thematic material from Arnold Schoenberg’s 1909 composition ‘Three Piano Pieces’ Op.11. Tone Cell: C#2 - A2 - D#2 - G#2 - D2 - C2 - D#2 - C#2.

The phrase "nihil humanum" is Latin and - when used in full - is typically "nihil humanum a me alienum puto." Translated to English - it means "Nothing human is alien to me." This phrase is attributed to the Roman playwright Terence (Publius Terentius Afer).

The idea behind this expression is a universalist one - emphasising the shared nature of the human experience. By stating that nothing human is alien or strange to him - Terence communicates a sense of empathy and understanding for all facets of the human condition. Whether people experience joy - suffering - love - loss - or any other human emotion or state of being - these things are common and relatable to all.
