STREAM (2015) for Clarinet and String Quartet

The title STREAM encapsulates some of the essential characteristics of this 16-minute long composition for clarinet and string quartet: it suggests flow—whether gentle or forceful; it implies a journey, one that could take us onto unexpected terrains yet is always moving forward; embedded into this word is also the idea of “stream of consciousness,” and with it, free association and unexpected twists of fancy.

A DUE for Violin and Violoncello (2011)

A due for violin and cello, a single-movement piece of approximately 12 minutes, is comprised of what may be seen as a series of interconnected ‘terms of engagement’ between its two protagonists. Starting from a state of separation and great distance, expressed by the two instruments playing entirely different music and placed in registral positions that are wide apart, the two gradually come together, in a manner that is more akin to a series of progressive waves than a straight narrative.
