Work Overview

Irish Breakfast is a mix of strong black Assam leaves. An Irish-jiglike melody is initially introduced and sits on the forefront of the sonic pallet. A freer, more virtuosic section based on Raga Bihag comes in and out of the spotlight with the use of extended techniques and changing placements of the bow. The Jiglike and Raga sections, although both has the tonal centre of E, the semitonal clash between F natural and F sharp between the two modes creates contrasting atmospheres. The blend of the icy sound of alto sul pont and harmonics is both haunting and beautiful.
