Pontis (Bridge, 2007)
 
I wrote PONTIS: BRIDGE for Peter Martin in 2007. In this work, I combine East and West by means of a bridge, borrowing ideas from both. From Eastern music, the elements of irregular and gestural rhythm are balanced with the regular beats of Western music. The ornamented heterophony of Eastern music contrasts with the melody and accompaniment of the West. There is a similar balance between the pentatonic and chromatic worlds of harmony. Subjectivity and sensuality live together with the intensity and tension of driving rhythms. You can hear the tones of the brush stroke and at the same time the color of the mark of a pen.
