Additional Information
Curved Form (No. 23) is a single, shimmering mass of interwoven lines. The four instruments of the quartet seamlessly weaving in and out of the texture creating subtly shifting waves of sound that ripple upwards across the instruments. Imagine a time- lapse view of the night sky - the stars’ motion suddenly visible to us as they pass over our heads. Imagine a rolling ocean wave whose motion began long before we saw it and will end long after it’s passed us by. Each note emerges seamlessly from the one before and quietly slips away under the next. It should feel like you’re playing one resonant instrument capable of an infinite range of timbres.
