Captures

Quintet for violin, violin, viola, cello and mic'd up tape player.

The piece is scored for all five instruments, with the string players using conventional techniques, whilst the performer of the tape player has instructions to play, rewind or fast forward, sounding both the material on the cassette, as well as having the sound of the tape player amplified.

In a live performance, both the tape player's physical action of creating sound and it's sonic result are not in keeping with the richness of the quartet. When listening to the recording, the quartet's entries against the rewinding or fast-forwarding tape sound slightly alien, as it is not expected to hear both rewinding or fast-forwarding tape with music at the same time.
