About

Rattlesnake was written to capture the mannerisms and physicality of a rattlesnake in musical form; beginning with a winding, unpredictable melody that weaves between octaves and timbres freely. Throughout the work a steady ethereal pulse transforms into something more fearsome, foreboding the danger ahead. As the piece develops, a furious, jagged atmosphere takes place, building up to a climax imaginging the moment when the rattlesnake strikes - and as the prey slowly dies, the music fades until all that can be heard is the rattle of the rattlesnake.


Dedication note

Dedicated to my good friend Sirisan; a truly skilled guitarist who I could not have written this piece without.
