String Quartet (1995)

String Quartet.

One of my most frequently performed works, exploring the idea of phasing over longer periods of time than are found in the minimalist works of composers such as Steve Reich. When this piece featured at Australian Music Day in 2012, I created this short video outlining the ideas behind its composition. In addition, a studio recording was made featuring Doretta Balkizas (violin 1), Jonathan Hendl (violin 2), Nicole Forsyth (viola) and Eleanor Betts (cello).
