MY WORDS ECHO THUS (2018) – for bass flute, bass clarinet and cello.
My words echo thus… takes its title and initial inspiration from the poem Burnt Norton by T. S. Eliot. The piece started out as an abstraction over echo as a sonic phenomenon, with instruments answering each other with similar but still changed sounds.
However, I have slowed down time, thus making the music exist outside of time. This turns the entire piece into an echo of something else entirely. Something that has already happened, that we can only hear the remnants of. Like an echo.
