Music half remembered, or half forgotten. Songs heard in the womb. The waking remnants of a melody composed in dreaming. The air still moved by all the tunes that ever sounded. No more notes to strike, no musician to play and no listener to hear: only the echoes; the chord of resonance; the music of the spheres.

The chance to explore the marriage between electric guitar, effects pedal and E-bow was an opportunity to create a kind of music I had often felt in my bones but never been able to express. It's a music that only hints at ideas; music that could perhaps go on forever.

Commissioned by the New Zealand guitarist Matthew Marshall, this work was premiered in Tauranga on 5th August 2009 and was subsequently toured around both North and South Islands.
