Warp (2002)
for solo cello
duration 20'

Warp, for cello solo, is the second in a sequence of three solo string pieces; each work serves not only as a solo, but also as one part of a string trio titled Weave.  The cello music begins by obsessively shuffling a series of fragments.  Eventually, the musical energies built up through repetition bloom into a kaleidoscopic profusion of materials.

Warp is dedicated to Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick.
