Programme Note:

Hatchet Job blends contemporary classical techniques with sludge rock and noise art to expand the pallet of solo instrumental performance and reimagines the form for the modern day. Both performer and composer have extensive experience with electronic music making, which they are combining in a collaborative, iterative process to bring the work to life.

Hatchet Job will take the form of a series of short etudes for viola, exploring the new frontiers of playing techniques, with the inclusion of effects and amplifiers into the signal chain. From the use of guitar picks to polyphonic delays that elongate phrases, which overlap one to the next. The primary sound is that of a driven guitar amp, which drastically affects how the instrument responds to different bowings and playing styles, impacting how the player approaches the performance. The piece explores how this haptic feedback influences how the instrument is written for and strives to open up new avenues in solo instrumental writing.

As part of the RNCM’s first ever Disability Awareness Week, the College presents the Lucy Hale Day of Music, Disability and Technology, in collaboration with Drake Music and PRiSM, directed by composer Megan Steinberg and co-directed by composer Ben Lunn.

The day spotlights the work of disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent artists in the UK who use technology in innovative ways, and whose unique practices are driven by their differences, instead of conforming to non-disabled traditions.

It also features three RNCM PRiSM & Drake Music Artistic Partnerships, bringing together six multidisciplinary artists to jointly present a headline concert in the evening. More information about these partnerships can be found at:

This event is made possible by NWCDTP who are supporting Megan Steinberg’s Lucy Hale Doctoral Award, a Composition PhD in association with Drake Music exploring and widening accessibility in music. More information about the Lucy Hale Doctoral Award can be found here.
