Improvisation and jazz-style melodies have been part of Turnage's work for many years but this is the composer's first large-scale attempt to obliterate artificial boundaries between one 'type' of music and another. A brutally powerful high octane fusion of jazz and classical styles Blood on the Floor concentrates on themes of urban alienation and drug abuse and is described by Turnage as probably the nastiest thing I have written.
