foam, resin - PDF Overview 
Sonically, this piece strives to capture the essence of liquid foam and dry, abrasive resin. To explore this juxtaposition, the performer is provided with a piece of graphic notation - open to interpretation. The graphic notation is constructed of physical materials that reflect its auditory counterparts. This helps differentiate instrumental voices in the piece, as well as blur the line between physical and auditory mediums.
The composition is primarily cell based, evolving around a few primary string and guitar gestures as the textural density morphs.
