perform Black Opal by Phillip Houghton
Recorded with four Grand Concert models.
​
Mela Guitar Quartet perform Black Opal from Phillip Houghton's work 'Opals' at Founders Hall in London. Filmed by Sean Boothe and recorded by Harry Tarlton 2016. "The black opal is a stone of fantastic colour. Against a dark matrix, electric purples, blues and greens predominate, refract and collide in a fiery rainbow of splinters of brilliant light. Found in black opal is the 'harlequin checkerboard' which describes block patterns of colour which I "heard" as block patterns of sound. This led me to mark on the score Black Opal 'like a big Kalimba'." - Phillip Houghton
