Programme Note

Twine
(i) string made by twisting together fibres:
(ii) a twist, coil, or convolution:
(iii) to wind, especially in spirals.
(Collins Dictionary of the English Language)

Two instruments
coil round one another,
exploring every twist
of contrapuntal convolution
to make a single string.

The music too
proceeds in coils and spirals;
winding round itself,
entwining time and memory.
