Suntrap (comp. Hewat)
Ratman (comp. Hewat)
Suntrap was written within the third movement of “Photons in Vapour”, a piece I was commissioned to write by An Tobar, the funky arts centre in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. The concept of the commission was Light and how fundamental it was to the island and the community’s wellbeing. The title was chosen by the arts centre director, Gordon Maclean, who has lived on Mull all his life. It became a very fitting title, being as intangible as the piece itself. A recording was released in 2000 on Tob Records.
Ratman was written in celebration of my sister and her attempt to help the man who was going to get rid of the rats in our cottage. She met a rat in the kitchen when she was about 11 years old. The rat was bigger than our cat! And was strangely confident in its ownership of the kitchen. So when the ratman came, she and him went out to the back field to see what could be done to stop the rats making their way back in. She bounced alongside him, head popping up over the barley. I couldn’t call it Ratman and Bobbin’ but I wanted to.

Rachel is a unique music essence. Her music and voice touch me really deep. I lived in Scotland for 2 years and she is able to bring me back there with her music. Rachel is a wonderful gift to the world.
