Talkin(g) (A)bout My Generation: Every generation talks about itself far too much. But in the face of climate collapse, digital dystopia and the endless rush towards the end, what else are we supposed to do? For pre-recorded speaker and chamber ensemble (as well as a delightful YouTube video), this piece revels in the absurdly speedy collapse of society and the hopelessness this engenders (with a lot of alliteration).

T(A)MG was commissioned by Casa da Música as part of the composer’s appointment as Young Composer in Residence.
