Eroding, for sextet  (2017)

Maria Luisk, alto flute; Michael Moy, bass clarinet; Matt Keown, vibraphone; Sophiko Simsive, piano; Kyungah Oh, violin; Yiqiu Chen, cello

Over thousands of years the glacial river Hvítá in Iceland has carved a deep gorge into the surrounding rock. At one particular twist in the river, the erosion has left several huge pillars of hyaloclastite rock, which look as if they were flung haphazardly into the riverbed. In fact they were revealed slowly over time from the process of the river carving away their surroundings. In Eroding, the players create a dense mass that gets worn down over time in order to reveal the spiky formations beneath the surface.

Fljótandi (2017)
For multi-tracked cellos and voice

As an acoustic instrument, a cello can get really loud. In Fljótandi, I wanted the cello to be as resonant and voluminous as possible in order to create a sort of physical meditation on sound. Fljótandi is built on the dissonance between the drones of the lowest string (tuned to a low A), and the high harmonic partials. By constantly shifting the timing and textures of these elements, my aim is to slowly reveal new facets of the sound world.
