will o wisp is me attempting to grapple with something to do with Englishness. It uses an old English-Irish-Scottish folk theme; nobody quite knows where it’s from. The piece sort of tears it apart and it’s as if it has been left in a vat of something for a long period. It should be both rather beautiful and scary.
