For solo piano, c.7'05. Advanced level of difficulty. Composed 2021
Chosen for the Preliminary Round Recital in the International Piano Competition 2023 as a new Australian work.
The Dance of the Robotic Cyborg conjures the characterisation of a futuristic creature that is a combination of a living organism and machine.
This is a constantly evolving energetic piece that draws on the rhythmic and structural inflections of jazz as well as elements of a baroque contrapuntal style. A short and recurring musical motif which winds around pianistically theatrical and improvisational embellishments holds this piece together.
The piece is technically demanding that commands a sturdy contrapuntal technique, as well an ability to break into contemporary dance music rhythms of varying intensities.
