Description:
This piece is about relentless rhythm. It was originally conceived for a Dutch ensemble, SOIL and performed at the original De Ijsbreker in 2005. It was then adapted slightly for Splinter Cell, an ensemble based in Canterbury, UK. Ensemble Offspring took this piece to the Sydney Opera House in 2012, turning it into a wild, intense overture.
