Streichquartett No. 1 was written in 2021. One of the work’s influences was the idea of “space in time” - how certain types of motion allow us to enter into an expanded temporal and spatial dimension, perhaps even into a different, compound dimension. An example of such motion is a liquid substance droplet’s fast speed as it is dropped into water, and its contrasting extremely slow dissolution. This continuous motion in two separate and contrasting spaces, one focusing on gravity (air) and the other on upthrust (water), creates for me the notion of space in time.
