Inspired in part by the energy and immediacy of contemporary pop music that the Enso string quartet shared with me, Spin (2011) uses a number of elements to suggest the sensation of spinning: a circle of fifths harmonic progression, canonic passages, modal figures that loop around the tonic, and uneven rhythmic patterns. Variations of the calm and slow moving opening theme are presented throughout the work in alternation with extremely aggressive, driving, and energetic material.
