Static Resonance - SCORE / PART

Static Resonance (For Violin & Viola Duo)

Duration: c.3-4'

Programme note: Static Resonance is short piece that focusses on a delicate, fragile, landscape created through using harmonics in the two string instruments. Despite the texture remaining largely consistent throughout the piece, the timbre and harmony subtly morphs over the course of the composition, exploring a single chord. This singular chord is explored through a variety of voicing and timbral possibilities, before revealing the complete chord at the climax. The piece then closes with the remaining fragments of the harmonics found at the opening, giving a different perspective from the opening. 

First performed by members of the Solem Quartet.
