Product Description
SHEET Music Book 2: When Shadows Talk Download
Neoclassical/New Age Solo Piano:
All 12 titles on the album. Solo piano suitable for Grades 4-6 AMEB.
When Shadows Talk offers musical storytelling that explores inward and outward reflection. Many of the pieces are about my creative process as an artist and bring to life behind-the-scenes workings of what it takes to dig deep enough to find valuable conversations.
Written/Piano: Fiona Joy Hawkins
I went into a self-imposed lockdown for much of the writing to find my creative centre. This exile allowed me to explore what lies deep beneath the surface and is often passed over or suppressed, both personally and in the context of broader community discussion.
The project threw up many obstacles, starting with the need to find another piano on the first day of recording. My plans were plagued with multiple instrument and venue issues, but fortunately, those involved were committed to helping me bring the project to life. My thanks go to Peter Stevenson (Producer), Michael Luchich (Engineer), Wayne Stuart (Piano Maker) and Tony Prince (Piano Tuner).
As I look back, I can laugh at the comedy in all that went wrong: Three broken strings, a buzz in A above middle C (A4) caused by a screwdriver left inside the piano, wood-chopping, lawn-mowing, dog barking, council truck (road works), rain (tin roof), building frame expansion/contraction, power outage (for 2 hours), mic connection issues and that didnt include the piano player/composer hitting the wall from exhaustion and frustration!
