In Flux (for flute, violin, cello and piano) explores harmonic stability and instability and was inspired by the wonderful clashes that exist between our 12-ET tuning system and the naturally-occurring overtone series. Beginning in a dark and static sound-world, the search for harmonic stability and the resolution of these two mutually exclusive phenomena creates a constant sense of motion, propelling the piece to brighter moments and an emphatic climax. After a turbulent journey, the clashes between the overtone series and 12-ET remain and fade to an colourful, ethereal accord.

In Flux was workshopped and recorded by Psappha Ensemble on March 20th, 2023.
