Performance Note:
Written on the subject of finding clarity as the immediate surrounds continue to blur. The tone colours of the string quartet intertwine and blue to create kaleidoscopic shifts in colour.
Composed at Dartington Summer School & Festival while studying with Sir Harrison Birtwistle. Workshopped with and premiered by the Gildas Quartet with Lucy Humphris.
