Performance History: Written for William Cole from the Ulster Orchestra, recorded at the Sonic Lab, SARC, in 2020 with funding from Queen’s University Belfast.
About: This piece explores the sounds and timbres of the double bass, and unfolds a spiral structure that begins to fracture as the work progresses, paralleling the broken rubbish and detritus that often litters a beach.
