Zoo Caprices
A transcription of a work for small orchestra (the score for Peter Greenaway's film A ZED TWO NOUGHTS for a solo violin may seem a foolhardy proposition were it not for the stunning virtuosity of Alexander Balanescu who has inspired a number of my compositions in the past six years and who was creatively involved in suggesting, demonstrating and modifying many of the violinistic solutions to the transfer of a multilayered, multi-textured work to a (so-called) single line instrument.

Post production: Nova Studios. Digital editing at Finesplice Studios.
