Alma Venus - Nikki Iles

 

Gate - Graham Fitkin

Funky, rhythmic and syncopated, Gate was written in 2001 (commissioned by Mixing Music Festival for Federico Mondelci and Kathryn Stott.  It starts from a trill.  The alternation of two adjacent notes gives rise to a simple and constant grouping of beats.  Place it in different temporal contexts and the inherent quality of the trill is questioned.
