Reflection is a feminist statement - a response to the Sacher Variations for solo cello of 1976 and a contra to the patriarchal legacy of the 20th Century. Reflection connects new compositions for solo cello into a dynamic, interdisciplinary performance. It explores the musical possibilities of cello and performer with amplified live electronics, video projection, physical performance and spoken word. Reflection is a contrast of compositional and performance practice and celebrates the multitude of sounds, styles and techniques present in the 21st Century. The intense collaborative work between the composers and cellist Benjamin Coyte, the use of electronics and visual media, as well as the staged, performative concept all represent the contemporary practice of today.
