BREAKING NEWS
I have just finsihed composing a set of nine pieces based on the nine Enneagram types. This set of pieces is socred for clarinet, violin, cello and piano, the same instrumentation as Messiaen's famous Quartet for the End of Time. Watch this space for news of possible performances.
I led a day school on the Enneagram and music in May 2016 for a group called Anam Cara. Here is some feedback :
I found the work in pairs particularly valuable and time allowed for this was perfect. I’m pleased he didn’t try to cover all nine types and recognised early on that his material would need to be adapted and edited. For me it just left a slight disappointment that we hadn’t covered all the types but all in all the day felt very satisfying and nourishing, and gave me enough to go on thinking about.
I thought the day with Andrew was hugely worthwhile and thank you so much for organising it. As someone with only a rudimentary knowledge of the Enneagram, it was certainly a voyage of discovery and very challenging at times.
Listening to the music (Andrew) played helped me to make a gut/emotional response without words and intellectualising getting in the way.
I am currently planning a weekend workshop for June 9th - 11th 2017 in Bottesford, Nottinghamshire to take this work forward to a new level. More details to follow soon.
