2023     'Unboxing a Music Box' 
               String quartet n. 2

In Unboxing a Music Box, I found myself very attracted by the imaginary of music boxes, their sonorities, melodies and mechanisms.

 

I put all of these elements into a mind-blender, and what came out was a piece in which each separated component is gradually integrated into a rhythmically and gesturally odd mechanism, which wants to be playful at times, but may need to break loose to find a charming lost tune in the ending.
