Rachel Clement writes:
"This set of short pieces is inspired by an interest in mid-20th Century glassmaking, in which the process of changing state, changing phase is examined. Each piece is titled with the name of a different technique and expresses the processes of freezing, melting, vaporization, condensation and sublimation."
The five movements are:
sabbia (sand)
filigrana (filigree)
bullicante (with bubbles)
millefiore (thousand flowers)
sommerso (submerged)
Shifting States was commissioned in 2005 by NZTrio with funding from Creative New Zealand.
