Thoughts that come before… Markas Michmel Prelude (improvisation) Frank Oliver Prelude (improvisation) Mahsa Salali Prelude (improvisation) …8’46” 8 minutes and 46 seconds has become a symbol of police brutality associated with the murder of George Floyd. The piece invites the viewers to listen to the full duration of 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence, in the memory of those who were murdered by the law enforcement.

George Floyd's murder quickly became a focal point globally leading to protests around the world. This piece uses the musical monogram ‘GEGEFD’ repeated in a number of different contexts including my own arrangement of the 1870s song ‘No More Option Block’. The Beethoven quotations came unconsciously during my initial improvisation, which I was inclined to leave out in the final version until remembering that the Eroica Symphony was first introduced in Boston in 1810 by the German-born Gottlieb Graupner who a decade earlier had donned blackface and called himself ‘The Gay Negro Boy’ in what was the beginning of minstrels and minstrelsy. It is hoped that the piece manages to reflect some of the shock, sadness, anger, confusion but also hope that is felt at this time.” #BLACKLIVESMATTER (http•••) (http•••) Trinity Laban presents Preludes to New Lights Festival 2021, a digital festival of contemporary music mostly for piano and keyboard, performed and recorded in lockdown.
