Fletch is a furious ongoing exploration of a specific physical gesture and fragment of sound. In it´s purest form, this elemental sonic gesture is a flowing up-bow sul pont double-harmonic trill, often with a fast glissando, crescendo-ing rapidly out of nothing to fortissimo. This fragment of sound is arresting, immediate and present, but also inherently unstable and unpredictable. The bow reveals again and again the fast quasi-mechanical manic trilling sound, which lies hidden beneath the surface of silence.
Surface, weight and feel are part of the reality of musical performance: the weight of the bow on the string; the differentiation of touch of the left-hand finger on the string.... Feeling the weight of sound is also an integral part of the composing process. The essential materiality of sound is for me of primary importance - being aware of the grit and noise of an instrument, tracing the essence of fragments of colour within a confined and reduced palette of timbres, and exploring the physical gesture which creates a fragment of sound.
