Description Five Easy Pieces are studies in music composition and body movement. Devised for the musician and performer, the pieces evolve melodic line and compositional structure from the physical motion of the body. In this interdependent relationship neither sound/composition nor the body are prioritised. The result is a highly developed or abstracted notion of he movement/sound found in the body.
