Multiplicidad is not intended to be a disc that offers unity of listening but, rather, conceptual unity. The disc contains five different pieces written over a period of four years – in which time my music has changed considerably – that reflect diverse visions about the concept which gives the disc its title. I therefore recommend listening to these works in isolation from one another.

The idea of the multiple, that something can contain more than a single characteristic, seems to me to be intimately linked to the idea of richness and knowledge. To know all sides of a concept is to go into it more deeply. An aesthetic model directed towards finding and manifesting the multi- faceted in what is real strikes me as the best possible antidote to a society characterised by the need for categorical single-minded affirmations, ready to be digested and repeated.
