My composition teacher set me a brief to write short piano pieces which should be no longer than roughly twenty seconds and would fit on a postcard. This made me think about places where you would not normally find postcards (the exception to this would be Margate and possibly Kielder) and I decided to represent my thoughts on these places through my music. Raploch, Causewayhead and Coalsnaughton are local places near where I live. Composed between June 2011 and October 2011 and were shortlisted in the BBC Proms Inspire Young Composer of the Year competition 2012.
