About The Piece...
Through an almost exclusive use of
trills, decorated by glissandi figures, Aurorean
Eclipse (2001) portrays and experimental aural picture of
streaming upper register sound. Gradually, tension builds and
overtones collide - creating a kaleidoscope of sound as overlapping gestures
of similar timbre and pitch obscure each individual instrument.
