about

A climactic ‘clack,’ then a steady, spinning decay – this is the noise associated with a spinning top flung across a flat surface. This wondrously balanced object is celebrated in all its splendour throughout the work. Spin belongs to a larger suite of pieces, each of which feature the evocative sonorities of much beloved, mechanical toys from childhood.
The meditative quality of a spinning top is observed in this work, which presents the object from a wide variety of perspectives, and brings the listener into a gesturally enriched realm. Unprocessed sounds are blended with manifold transformations, creating an uncanny vision of a spinning top which contorts, divides, and traverses along an erratic trajectory as it unwinds.
