and the second is rhythmic and obsessive. This performance, and the others on this page, are from a concert of my chamber music by the wonderful Ars Futura |

For Flute, Clarinet,Violin, Cello, Piano, Percussion.
This is a single movement piece. In it I aimed for a very simple and serene sound.
The piece begins with the piano generating the music and the instruments responding.
Gradually as the piece progresses the instruments become more independent, a the
piano recedes.
