Meet the AYO Episode 3 | Kym Dillon, composer


Listen Later

One of the aspects of AYO National Music Camp that Kym most enjoyed was being able to work closely alongside performers during the creative process. Discussing the capabilities of each individual instrument with its owner in a relaxed working environment allowed him to broaden his understanding of specific instrumental techniques. Kym took this knowledge and applied it to his new piece, Moto Perpetuo, which explores the idea of the ceaseless activity that is all around us every day. This composition takes the audience on a journey through three contrasting scenes; yet each of them is seamlessly linked by a torrent of driving semiquavers, representing the relentless way we often find ourselves travelling through life.
Hear Kym as he tells us more about the creative process behind Moto Perpetuo: Three Scenes.
