Iridescence

Iridescence is the variability in the colour of an object with a change in viewing angle, an optical quality that imparts a magical shimmering to the surface of a soap bubble and fills the feathers of a peacock and the wings of a butterfly with brilliant hues. The works for viola and double bass in Iridescence permit us to see and hear from a different vantage point: two string instruments, often in the shadows of the violin and cello, yet filled with prismatic possibility and potential.
