Performed by Madawaska String Quartet, Music Gallery, Toronto, 2006

Recorded by Paul Hodge

Honourable Mention in the contest for the 2008 Brian M. Israel Prize, awarded by the Society for New Music and the NY Federation of Music Clubs

In the first movement, I use some aleatoric elements over repeated percussive patterns that draw on influences from some popular electronic musics.These passages are contrasted with jazz-influenced writing.The second movement is the most traditional and lyrical.The third ‘brings everything together uncomfortably’.
