Program Notes
Flow is inspired by the movement of water and rivers. Quiet sound clusters that are heard in the beginning converge into large sound masses that ebb and grow. Like a river which starts with a trickle, it turns into a series of rapids that converge into a larger body. As the river reaches the mouth of the sea, momentum finally gives way and we return to a slower flow, with the eventual dissipation of the sound into the silence.
The piece was written for the UTWS under the Composer-in-Residence program at the Faculty of Music.
