Flute Perspectives 4 Out on Move Records
Australian flautist Derek Jones’ Flute Perspectives 4, the fourth volume in his celebrated series of music for the flute is now available on Move Records. This latest instalment showcases the dynamic range and expressive potential of the flute across an exciting collection of contemporary
Australian compositions.
Featuring collaborations with Jerry Wong (piano) and Joshua Hyde (electronics), Flute Perspectives 4 explores innovative soundscapes and diverse musical voices through new works and reimagined classics by Harry Sdraulig, Alan Holley, Anne Boyd, Joshua Hyde, Linda Verrier, and Keith Humble.
Joshua Hyde’s Folding outward into traces is a striking fusion of flute multiphonics and electronics, developed through a deeply collaborative process. Linda Verrier’s Firefly’s Dream for alto flute offers shimmering textures and detailed sonic colour, while Alan Holley’s lyrical solo works Rosella and River Song evoke a delicate Australian landscape. The recording also includes the first commercial release of Harry Sdraulig’s Sonata for Flute and Piano, praised for its emotional depth and structural sophistication, and a powerful new rendition of Keith Humble’s avant-garde five-movement Sonata, showcasing the technical and expressive breadth of both flute and piano.
Flute Perspectives 4, continues Jones’ mission to champion Australian music and expand the
horizons of contemporary flute performance.
Flute Perspectives 4 is available now on Move Records and through all major streaming platforms.
