The word 'pandemonium' is often used to describe a wild, chaotic, and disorderly uproar - this work was composed after a period of high intensity work and stress, which often felt exactly like this. That feeling of overwhelming busyness is what this piece aims to represent.

 

This piece is inspired by the feel of a carnival or circus, which often embodies that crazy sense of pandemonium. Carnivals also have an association with theatricality and spectacle which often applies as we watch hectic situations unfold.

Whether it be juggling different tasks, doing a balancing act between work and time away,

dealing with clowns and being overwhelmed by the staggering amount acts taking place, sometimes our lives can get very noisy, chaotic and energetic – and all you can do is hold on for the ride.
