Sasha Scott: "I started writing Introspection on the Britten Pears Young Artist Course in Aldeburgh, November 2022. Over the course I found myself quite disconnected from my life in London and often found myself with only my inner thoughts, and I wanted this piece to be reflective of that emotional process. The word ‘Introspection’ is the observation of one’s own mental and emotional processes. I wanted this piece to reflect on circling and swirling thoughts going around someone’s head; and at times spiralling out of control. I wanted to emulate this by creating clouds of distorted textures and echoing chords reverberating around the performance space."
