Programme Note
This work might be seen as a survey, from one end to the other, of a symmetrical, double-ended knot, where one thread is made of a sonic imagining of wire and the other of silk. Myriad loops and elbows, dippings under and over and threadings of eyes give rise to possibilities for certain meldings of materials, collisions of density, flavour and colour. Considered one of the most secure methods of tying two lines together, the Carrick Bend, like all bend-knots, has loose ends…
Carrick Bend was commissioned by Stroma, with funding from Creative New Zealand. It was premiered by Stroma (cond. Hamish McKeich), with saxophonist Lars Mlekusch, in Wellington in 2005.
