Liquid Crystals metamorphose less abruptly on the whole, though there are some dramatic effects – the extraordinary sequence of stabbing gestures from the cello after about 6’10 for example – a sequence that generates a succession of sul ponticello sounds; but the essence of the music here is still overwhelmingly liquid; the crystals have melted. The gradual fragmentation of the sound toward the final ‘drips’ at the conclusion of Liquid Crystals, satisfying and strangely alluring.
