The onomatopoeic word "flttttt” has its origins in the ancient Meidup language of Miunkelsneimistan, and it denotes an impaired yet frustrating fly. I first came across the word in a six-thousand-year-old sound recording which I uncovered on an archaeological dig in Miunkelsneimistan in late 2004. Despite the magnitude of this discovery, I withheld the recording from the wider academic community until I had a chance to transcribe it for two string players. The release of the recording was timed to coincide with my transcription’s premiere performance, given by Johnny Chang (violin) and Jessica Catron (cello) in the University of Auckland Music Theatre, on 10 March 2006.

I humbly acknowledge The Microscore Project for commissioning the archaeological dig. Dub dub dub dot myspace dot com slash theMicroscoreProject.

I had conceived the ideas for Moth long before it was written down on paper, having been kept awake on many occasions during the summer nights by the sounds of these fluttering insects. The sounds were fragmented by intervals of long silence, but they came so suddenly even the heaviest of sleepers would be irritated.

Moths are beautiful and eerie nocturnal creatures; they use a celestial navigation system which keeps them flying in a straight line, but however are unable to resist bright objects nearby.

In Moth, by using two violins, I have juxtaposed the serene attraction of the bright light, with the nervous and agitated behaviour of a single moth. Placing the violin parts closely together – both striving for a common goal, yet always in conflict with each other – I have attempted to portray the struggle of the poor creature who is forever trying to reach the moon.

Scored for violin and cello this work has been dscribed as, “the most extended and dramatic composition on the album… This extraordinary work is a tour de force for violin and cello, rivettingly performed by Douglas Beilman and James Tennant.” Oliver Stead, Music in NZ “This is a powerful work, an angry work even, from the shuddering, shifting harmonies of the opening tremolo to a cello cadenza of almost Slavic intensity, and the recurring percussive effects the composer demands of her players.” William Dart, Music in NZ.
