Suspension (2004)

for oboe and string quartet

Duration: 7 min

In Suspension an extensive use of quartertones, micro-glissandi and multiphonic sounds is employed in the oboe part, giving a distorted and strident dissonant quality to the piece. Here many techniques and special playing modes are employed in order to explore the new creative possibilities of non-conventional and unusual timbres.
