Strata


flute, clarinet, violin, cello,

piano and two percussionists (2006)


Duration: ca. 10 minutes



Written for the Kore Ensemble Montreal, Strata  is scored for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and two percussionists.  Some of my most recent music is, on the surface, involved with very  fast and rhythmically active musical material, in particular fast moving ostinatos.  However, simultaneously, on another level, the music is sometimes moving very slowly, with only very gradual and minimal changes.   Strata  continues this idea, with several different layers (‘strata’) of material occurring simultaneously.
