(2018) - saxophone quartet, string quartet, and dance

Duration ca. 10 minutes

The idea is to have the two quartets collide with each other based on their differences. For instance, the string quartet uses clear sounds while the saxophone quartet uses raw, quick smears, slap tongue, stomps, and multiphonics. The collisions progress through the work. At some point, silence breaks through and a sense of unity is made by the two quartets.
