Pentography

Commissioned by the Ensemble Offspring's Noisy Egg Creation Fund – Noisy Women Commission 2017, Pentography draws its extra musical inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine and the five seasons, where each season relates to a particular aspect of the mind, body and spirit.
​
Spring: Wind in heaven, wood on earth. Shouting sound, impatience, anger, dissatisfaction.
Summer: Heat in heaven, fire on earth. Growth, lightness, expansion, laughter, joy.
Earth: Harmonises the four seasons. Time stops, unity, harmony, dreamlike, tranquil.
Autumn: Dryness in heaven, metal on earth. Grief, gathering together, stillness, contraction.
Winter: Cold in heaven, water on earth. Receptive, introspective, stillness, spiritual essence. 

​Performed and premiered by Ensmble Offspring at the Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House in 2018.
​Instrumentation is: Flute, Bamboo flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Piano, Percussion, Tibetan singing bowls.
