Birdsong in Isolation was written as part of my special study composition portfolio for my postgraduate degree as well as for Carla Rees New Sounds project as part of PLAY! Festival 2023. Composed for alto flute, the piece embodies a figurative birdsong which calls out into the performative space but never receives a reply. As the realisation and terror for such isolation becomes more and more damaging, the birdsong evolves and transforms into an erratic and distressed call until its energy is completely exhausted, leaving the birdsong to be slowly consumed by the elements.
