This piece was a commission from Rarescale for a new piece for quarter-tone alto flute, guitar and live electronics for premier in September 2016.
The piece is inspired by Jeff Noon's novel of the same name and is an inquiry into the themes of noise and information. The piece also serves to explore and develop the growing repertoire for the Kingma system quarter-tone alto flute.
The piece also serves as beginning point in the development of a future opera based on the novel, with a libretto by Jeff Noon.
