“Sunshowers” is a triptych exploring the resonance of the piano.

“Out of heart of light” (a fragment of text from T.S. Eliot) uses a rapid-fire rhythmic technique to sound out slowly changing tonal clusters. Chaotic repetitions of tones create unpredictable fluctuations in the sound colour, a kind of “glowing” effect.

“Ghosts” reveals a series of sustaining chords and amplifies imperfections in the decay. We hear the “ghosts” – the normally unheard details – inside the sound.

“Sunshowers” presents a sequence of cascading arpeggios, gently falling from right to left. As the harmonies gradually transform the resonance shifts across the colour spectrum like a rainbow.

Inspired by the foggy San Francisco Bay, Long String Instrument master Ellen Fullman and cellist Theresa Wong unfurl elliptical tonal changes and anxiously resonant dissonance that feels like being stranded at the end of the earth.
