Rain between the showers
6' 54"
for 2-channel tape
Completed in August 2001, the title refers to the weather patterns of the south west of Ireland. While the sound material sounds vaguely rain-like in places, the title refers more directly to the structure of the work. The language of the piece is one of gradual unfoldings and increases in tension where the contrast between semi-pitched sounds and more noisy material plays an important part. This is a largely monophonic work which focuses on the gestural qualities of the original source recordings...
...The piece reaches its most sustained climax in the fifth minute before giving way to a still coda which brings the work to a close. Rain between the Showers was premiered at the Belfast Festival at Queen's in October 2001 and received its US premiere at the 11th Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival in March 2002.
