Mark Menzies, violin
recorded live January 22, 2002

Weft is the first work in a larger project; the piece serves not only as a solo, but also as the violin part in a string trio (titled Weave).  Obeying its own internal dictates, while also responding to the logic of its unheard viola and cello counterparts, the violin's spiky, angular gestures gradually knit themselves into a more sustained music.

Weft is dedicated to Johnny Chang.
