Thanks so much to @BBCRadio3 and the @BBCSO for including me in this project. I really enjoyed writing this piece! See below my introduction to Ascent and @IgorYuzefovich's beautiful performance.

BBC SO leader @IgorYuzefovich really explores every millimetre of the violin in this piece!
Written during lockdown for @BBCRadio3's #PostcardsFromComposers series, @MTaplinComposer explains how his piece Ascent is inspired by a hope for humanity 💙

2023年度武満徹作曲賞第1位に選ばれたマイケル・タプリンさんのSelvedge。その初演をご自身のSoundCloudやYouTubeで公開して下さっています。あわせて創作のひらめき、過程、方法などの文章も。とても興味深いです。和音の推移や音色感が美しい作品です✨是非ご一聴を。

I have written a little blog outlining some of the inspirations and compositional methods explored in Selvedge! Many thanks to @CamUniMusic for asking me to write it.
