Crux, the Southern Cross, is the smallest of all 88 constellations, and over most of Australia it's in the sky all year round. Its brightest star, Acrux, is a triple star 321 light years away. The tracks are named for the stars of the cross, including Mimosa.
Notes from Charlie: The same composition, recorded again and again over thirty years. Same piano, same pianist, different days, different ages. Compare the pair. All the way through, I treat the piano as what it really is: a percussion instrument.
Every piece in Constellation is an improvisation. Most came in the middle of scoring a film or working on something else, when I needed to stop and stretch out at the piano. Recorded across more than 25 years, they were released as 52 collections, one a week through 2023, each following the night sky. Every track is named for a star. 433 improvisations, around 30 hours of music.
Creativity is infinite.
