About
The music should give the impression that parts of it have been airbrushed out. Lost, like intermittent radio reception or a tape partly erased.

Commissioned note
New Zealand String Quartet
Contents note
The work is in double variation form, and there is an alternation between two musical environments: 1. Ghost Dances (rhythmic and wild) 2. Chaconne (based on a chorale-like theme)
