Streams is an 8 movement work depicting various types of streams, where movements 1 and 2, 3-5 and 6-8 are interconnected. The concept initially was to make a partner work to my early string quartet Shapes, as a depiction of phenomena related to the movement titles; bubbles as a simulation of a kettle, logic asa working through of a Rubiks cube using a 2-dimensional mapping of the working out as musical "data", and so on.
Streams
air - smoke
water - bubbles - steam
consciousness - logic (rubiks sinfonia; prelude, scherzo I, scherzo II) - tears
