Continental Drift
Continental Drift features compositions for two bass flutes and cello. As the Earth’s continents drift across the ocean floor, new music makes its own slow migration around the globe, across time and space into various lands and cultures.
Monologues & Dialogues
This recording features the resonant, meditative colours of modern low flutes. Austere, breathy and at times eerie, these deep registers open a sound-world still little explored in woodwind writing, and invite a wide range of musical imaginings.
