CLICKBAIT
for string quartet & sampler (2019)
CLICKBAIT is about the internet, information overload, the effects of digital media on the ways we think. It’s about attention span, the feeling of constantly shifting your gaze from one object to another, and the fleeting moments of stillness that exist in the liminal spaces. It’s about whether four musicians are able, despite continually being distracted, to focus on one thing.
Premiered by the Ligeti Quartet in Cambridge in June 2019.
