About
Dennehy has written, 'There is a whiff of high-class vandalism about my work" ? an opinion borne out by this album, which collects works from his early, uproarious Junk Box Fraud ? for two increasingly smutty vocalists and strident ensemble ? and pAt, for piano and taped 'shipping forecast' ? to the recent lyrical violin concerto, Elastic Harmonic, with soloist Darragh Morgan.

Awards and reviews
Streetwalker includes this composer’s characteristic mixture of urban sounds and tight, multi-layered rhythms. But there is nothing routine about it. Subtle and unusual pitch-bending techniques intersect with, and help to trigger some of the most kaleidoscopic sounds of this concert. The sense of purpose gives special potency to surprising twists and turns in a work which stood up with the best of those in the concert.
