“Atmospheric music for four flutes”
This is a strangely haunting and emotionally engaging piece of music that weaves its spell very simply. There is a stillness here conveyed by gentle rhythms and slowly moving lines which meander through an ever-changing harmonic landscape. The total effect is very unsettling, drawing you in to the 'exploration of the interplay of tensions from the point of view of innocents engulfed by conflict'. A talking point in a recital programme certainly!
