About
About the work
Salt Junk on Doulton Plates is a short orchestral work characterized by abrupt attacks, fragmented gestures, and sharply contrasting blocks of sound. The music moves through a series of confrontational outbursts, using orchestral weight, interruption, and compression as its primary materials.
“Stephen de Filippo’s Salt Junk on Doulton Plates assaults the ear with abrupt, confrontational thuds. It’s violent, threatening, in-your-face material with fragmented outbursts that don’t so much attract the attention as attack it.” — Neville Cohn, The West Australian
