Particles 1, 2 & 3

The Particles series is about the viscosity of air, which sparkles around us, pushing against everything we see. Particles 1, 2 & 3 exist in two versions: for solo violin with different orchestral sections (Particle 1 – double basses; Particle 2 – violas; Particle 3 – second violins); and also for cl, vln, vc, pno, as arranged for Alisios Camerata, Zagreb. The Alisios Camerata performance of Particle 2 at Banff Centre can be watched here. There is an additional arrangement of Particle 2 for youth orchestra, written for London Music Masters, in which professional tutors play the demanding passages.

The cl/vln/vc/pno performance set is available for hire at €30 per performance (lower rates available for tours). Performance sets for the original setting (solo violin + orchestra) can be hired by agreement.
