Cycles III: Perpetual Change
from Mark Sheeky Music Hosted by Mark Sheeky
Cycles III: Perpetual Change from the 2024 Remaster of the 2017 album Cycles & Shadows. Cycles & Shadows is a culmination of over a year of new musical exploration in musical structures, and continual live piano performances. The album consists of two distinct halves. Cycles is essentially a piano concerto in six movements for synthetic orchestra. It was born from the Cycles art performance developed for Chester Cathedral in September 2016, and is an examination of information and structures in music, and a comparison with different biological structures and states. A simple theme is explored in different ways that echo the life-cycle of a cell or organism. Shadows, the second half of the album, consists of songs with unusual structures. Influenced by contemporary freeform poetry, the songs follow the same improvisational style, using words and music to convey meaning and emotion.
