Programme Note
Composer note
The concertina, with its expanding and contracting bellows, seems like an apt metaphor for the way this piece works. In fact, I thought of the name very early on, and this oscillating motion of filling out and squeezing in influences the piece on every level, from the pattern through the metrically shifting phrases to the larger shape. It was a joy to write this piece for the wonderfully focussed players of Hub New Music.
