ABOUT THIS WORK
This is really two works in one: it can be performed as a solo cello piece (16 minutes), or in a second version with cello and percussion (17 minutes). The two versions were developed simultaneously, and written at the request of the internationally acclaimed virtuoso cellist Rohan de Saram.  

Projection of two further versions: In the slightly more distant future, I see a possibility of yet another version of the work: cello with flute, and cello with live electronics, perhaps with a view to a much larger work for multi-media involving additionally voice, electronics and film/video.
