The presence of a major new composer on the musical scene was signalled by the première of Morgan Hayes' Viscid at the 1997 Park Lane Group Young Artists Concert Series. Critics responded warmly to its colour, vitality, and strong individuality. The same qualities are found in Five Distressed Surfaces, a collection of fascinating character studies that also reflect the composer's skills as a pianist and improvisor. Though not intended to be played as a suite, the individual pieces are linked by a concern with visual, plastic and even tactile sources of inspiration, and by a quietly disruptive humour.
... Morgan Hayes’ piano works, Flaking Yellow Stucco and Le Lardon, were elegantly explosive in [Stephen] Gutman’s performances.
