Taking initial inspiration from simple melodies reminiscent of folk tunes and child-like nursery rhymes, ‘round and round and…’ revolves around memory and the natural decay of the piano sound. Throughout, there is a playful exploration of the piano as the range expands, yet always within the attempt to sustain the ideas through repetition and looping, working with and against the piano’s decay and inability to sustain. There is a persistence to hold on, to prevent the disappearance of sound, and to remember.
