about

This recording is Julian Jacobsen's intensely expressive and exacting performance from 2007 (Turner Sims Concert Hall).

This was the first piece I completed during my Masters study with Michael Finnissy; it was on the basis of this piece that I was chosen for the SPNM Shortlist (2006-9).

The final form of the piece was decided in a tremendous flurry, the afternoon of the deadline for the SPNM shortlist applications. I sat in the library with a photocopy of the piece in its original binary form, and went at it with glue and scissors, intercutting (literally!) the material from the A and B sections.

The Jayne of the title refers to my friend Jayne Winter.
