Composition for string orchestra is inspired by and based on Gertrude Stein’s text excerpt from her book “Reflection on The Atomic Bomb”:
“No sense in no sense innocence of what of not and what of delight. In no sense innocence in no sense and what in delight and not, in no sense innocence in no sense no sense what, in no sense and delight, and in no sense and delight and not in no sense and delight and not, no sense in no sense innocence and delight.”
