This work, presented in two sections, explores contrasting settings for the violin, clarinet, percussion and piccolo quartet. In the opening the clarinet and violin sound together in a raucous kind of dialogue, where the instruments have a similar trajectory, but sound independent. Then, the two join the percussion to create a ticking, rhythmic support, which the piccolo sings and warbles atop.

This work was created with support from the West Australian Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
