On Effervescent Cages is a short piece for three players that emphasises rhythm as the major building block for the structure. Throughout the composition, most motifs develop from a few initial ones, although eventually the form and structure is abstracted enough from the original element to become entirely unrecognisable. The instrumental parts are all linked to each other, with only a few sections where one is more prominent than the rest. The bodhrán's timbre enhances the rhythmical construction of the piece by incorporating elements of both traditional and contemporary techniques of bodhrán playing.
