Sam Richards: Empty Moments

Part of University of Plymouth Music Week 2018

Empty Moments is a series of miniatures for piano. They began as tiny sketches written in spare moments, but the theme of emptiness grew and the number of pieces increased to an hours-worth of slow, meditative music.

Sam Richards is a part-time lecturer at University of Plymouth, specialising in music history, improvisation and composition.
