Written in 2006 for my quartet. I was interested in exploring the elasticity of time in ensemble playing and reversing the roles of horns v rhythm section.
The concept behind the melody and harmony was to create beauty through the relationship and balance of consonance and dissonance; using aspects of functional harmony and tonal music but with unexpected twists and turns as a way of creating colour and ornamentation.
