My inspiration for this
piece came from the exploration of the continuum between long,
continuous gestures and short, pointilistic clusters. Thus, the piece
begins with the idea of the “line” – the stable, held gesture – which
develops into “dots”, only to re-fuse into the “line”, as “dots” are
placed closer and closer together.
Metaphors of contraction and expansion, within individual parts and in
the relation of one part to the others, are used in order to explore
this continuum and aid the fluidity of transition between the two
extremes. The individual instrumental parts should be looked at as
parts of a single whole, unified by principles of cause and effect as
well as an overall homogenous density curve.
