The Thief is a Shatter-ion: this piece steals material from my other compositions, then ‘shatters' it through processes of modification and fragmentation. The term 'shatter-ion' is not a standalone scientific term; rather, it alludes to the tendency of ionic crystals to shatter on impact. - Alannah Marie Halay
