His Nocturne – Insomnia from 2008 is a good example of his considerable skills. Starting dreamily in a largely tonal language, the music becomes agitated and more atonal. These passages have an annoyingly witty realism, depicting the little worms of worries that prevent sleep. The small ensemble is used brilliantly, producing a very wide range of sounds and irritating scratches. Ultimately it seems sleep is achieved, with a return to the dreamy opening, but the effect for the listener is disturbing and unresolved. A highly rewarding and entertaining 15 minutes.
