The Moon is Falling was written in late August 2016 while on the Druskininkai Artist Residency programme in Lithuania. The piece has since been revised for the 2018 Illumimate concert series and will receive its premiere at these concerts.

The piece explores ideas and imagery of the moon. After I heard the phrase 'the moon is always falling' on a radio programme my imagination was captured. The idea of this apparently motionless object, seemingly so calm and serene, essentially being in a paradoxical state of falling towards the earth without ever getting any closer to it. The piece explores these themes, which emphasise the contradictory power of gravity to generate massive speeds and force, whilst appearing to be in a state of serene stasis.
