About

dans la nuit is based on a motif of a sustained note and a small range of glissandi notes. The motif follows an irregular rhythmic pattern which creates a feeling of uncertainty. The chromatic possibilities of the main theme have been explored and build on the initial uncertainty culminating in an atmosphere of apprehension and at times suspense. I was inspired to create this work after hearing a violinist improvising on a chromatic scale exercise.
