I wrote my first major String Quartet in my final year living in Winnipeg and during a transitionary period from film music into contemporary concert music. Containing influences from my film music background and minimalist composers such as Glass and Reich, each movement represents a different aspect of our amazing universe, and explores relationships between celestial bodies and phenomenon through a dialogue between the instruments.
