About
The spring Equinox in the southern hemisphere marks the point at which the sun shifts from the northern to the southern hemisphere. During the equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west – a time of great change, as we move from winter into spring. It also brings with it, gusty and unpredictable winds, quiet winds, brooding winds. It is these changes - these winds - that inspired this piece for guitar quartet. Each movement of the piece aims to capture (albeit vaguely) the changes that occur within ourselves, and the consequences of phenomenon beyond our reckoning and control.
