Info for Matthew Hindson: Flute Concerto House Music

Throughout an illustrious career as a performer and educator, flutist Alexa Still has been widely praised for her technical prowess and her gift of making even the most challenging works sound effortless.

On the world-premiere recording of House Music (Flute Concerto), Still is reunited with her dear friend and former colleague, celebrated Australian composer Matthew Hindson.

“My compositional aesthetic has always been to write in response to contemporary society and culture, and while humans have been living in houses or similar structures for thousands of years, there are particular facets of contemporary living that have provided a rich source of inspiration for this work.” (Matthew Hindson)

Written in 2006, House Music is a four-movement flute concerto occupying the intersection of contemporary art music and electronic techno dance music. Hindson playfully illustrates the double meaning of “House Music” in the concerto’s movement titles—Kitchen, Garage, Workshop, Foyer, Lounge, etc.—as well as the inspiration he found in techno rhythm, harmony, and structure.
