Rhapsody in Red is based on a 'textwork' by the British artist Richard Long - Red Walk Bristol to Dawlish - which lists objects seen on a walk from Bristol to Dawlish and the distances along the walk that they were seen at. The music which is characterized by repetitive figurations has a mesmerising ecstatic quality.

St Asaph Toccata was commissioned by Symphony Hall Birmingham as part of the Bach to the Future Series. The composer writes: 'The original title for the piece was Toccata Machine as I had an image of the gigantic Symphony Hall organ as some kind of mad machine uncontrollably spewing out manic toccata figuration. Except for a short oasis of calm two-thirds of the way through the piece is very loud and has millions of notes in it. The eventual title refers to the street in South London where I live rather than the Welsh Saint Asaph'.
