Static is one of two songs by Tansy Davies setting poems by Nick Drake, who would go on to write the libretto for Davies’s opera Between Worlds. Capricious in nature, the two-minute work sees the piano dancing playfully around a sensuous vocal line.

‘Two songs after Nick Drake – the distant eroticism of Static and the achingly plangent This Love.’ 
Gramophone (Richard Whitehouse), November 2012
