Structured improvisation was played in response to the evolving events, images and sounds by Gemma McGregor (seven flutes) and Gillian Morrison (double bass). This was the second performance given byThe Experimental Music Project at The Pier Arts Centre on 26.01.18.

It was a retrospective of the work of Orcadian artist, Sylvia Wishart. Reflections, by Gemma McGregor, was composed in response to Sylvias's painting, and to the view from Sylvia's window at her home in Stromness that it depicts. This was the inaugural performance by The Experimental Music Project - a flexible group of musicians and artists directed by Gemma McGregor.
