Soliton for piano trio

"inspired by the seascape photographs of Terry Toedtemeier that she viewed at the Portland Art Museum. “Soliton” refers to a phenomenon in which two ocean waves hit each other at right angles. A light sprinkling of notes from the piano elicited droplets, and the very high sounds from the violin and cello created an image of water that was twisted and knotted. A stuttering of bows and a shift to the lower part of the keyboard signaled a dramatic change – perhaps the other wave – and that set off a chaotic scene, which gradually subsided and returned the piece to a restful place." - Oregon ArtsWatch
