"Three Shades Without Angles is a piece that plays with the idea of transformation of musical shapes. When writing this piece, I was inspired by Auguste Rodins sculpture The Three Shades, a detail sitting atop the sculptors work The Gates of Hell, depicting a scene from Dantes The Inferno. Although my music is not representative or depictive of Dante or an image of hell, I was deeply drawn to the sinewy character of Rodins work, its intensity, muscularity, consistency, and the way in which movement and energy is represented in his shapes." - Hannah Lash
