about

Composed by Gary Daley Arranged by Paul Cutlan

“Middle of the Moment refers to the experience of suspending the brain’s ceaseless wandering and bringing our focus down to the moment. There are rewards in overriding the ceaseless chatter of our brains and letting ourselves be lost in a kind of reverie and abstraction. These ideas inform this music and performance.
The piece opens and closes with a recording I made while travelling in Italy of the sounds of Venice Train station. It was fascinating to watch people coming and going, and freely let the sounds, smells, sights and the myriad interactions, both human and machine, to flow in and out of my conscious frame. I become completely immersed in the moment.
The repeated figure which forms the foundation of the music somehow expresses a sense
of flow and immersion in the inward landscape of the mind. The free piano improvisation
in the middle of the piece reflects a stream of consciousness response to the moment. Finally, Tunji Beier’s beautiful Konnakol inhabits the moment, magically transporting us to an inward, meditative world.”
(Gary Daley)
