Although I have used Latin rhythms in pieces in recent years this is the first time I have returned wholeheartedly to one of my favourite types of music since I wrote Tiptoe Tune in 2001. Typically I wrote it when I should have been writing something else but I really enjoyed going back to these rhythms.
Stylistically Spider Legs can best be described I suppose as ‘Merengue House’ but perhaps it is better without any description!
The title comes from the nickname given to my recently born granddaughter Emma Louisa and it just seemed to fit the music so well that I could not resist it.
