Lady Jane -  For Violin x Cello

In Celtic Mythology, the ‘Aos sí’ are fairy people who live underground, in the
otherworldly mounds and hills that dot the Irish countryside. They are said to be
descendants of the goddess ‘Danu’ and are described as walking the border between the
living, and the otherworld. Inspired by this, this piece seeks to explore the ephemeral
tone qualities of the bass flute - exploring the delicate higher register and then the very
lowest register, running through a series of live DSP devices which will help to extend
and convey a timbre of the otherworld.
