Piano Quintet.Composed for our schools composition competition in 2010. I didn't win.

This piece was written on a weekend right after I saw an Australian National Academy of Music performance of music by their composer in residence for 2010 Anthony Pateras. The second movement of my piano quintet was especially influenced by the string techniques seen in Pateras's "Chromatophore" for amplified string octet. I was interested in the way the performers would often have to play a tremolo and a glissando at the same time and I used that technique in the second movement (my attempt at an "atonal fugue") of my own composition.

(This was a Sibelius 5 playback as that is what I had when I was transcribing my music into the computer. It sounds absolutely horrible and doesn't play back the microtones or percussion bits properly.)
