A restless and energetic dialogue for piano and cello.
Chaotic in motion, confident in direction, and driven by sharp determination.

About Knots and Other Gadgets unfolds through rhythmic tension and sudden directional shifts. The piano articulates fragmented gestures and percussive patterns, while the cello reinforces and challenges the harmonic framework with bold, assertive lines. The result is a controlled instability that feels both chaotic and purposeful.
Despite its volatile surface, the structure remains precise. Motivic cells interlock and evolve, creating a magical sense of transformation within a highly energized discourse. The piece balances momentum and clarity, projecting confidence through contrast and articulation.
In 2022, a solo piano version of this work was included in the album Painted Piano, offering a more introspective reinterpretation while preserving the original structural intensity.
