The highly contrasted, often bizarre juxtapositions of Phillips’s The Heart of a Humument – whichsees him ‘treating’ an obscure late Victorian novel by selecting certain words and phrases, and then painting over the rest of each page – are mirrored in vividly imagined music whose pithy energy creates a playful, virtuoso tour de force for allseven instruments.
