All casual bits and scraps, assembled STEPHENSON JOSEPHINE

Description :

“Assemble, first, all casual bits and scraps / That may shake down into a world, perhaps […]” (Robert Graves, The Devil’s Advice to Storytellers). Those were the words that led me on the composition of this short piece: an assemblage of a variety of little motifs, chords and textures, heard progressively in different combinations, separately or together, across the two mirror duos of percussionists that compose the quartet. Gradually ‘a world’ is constructed, before quickly evaporating again into thin air. (Josephine Stephenson)
