About the piece:

eclipse explores the idea of sounds interweaving and intertwining as well as the gradation of sound from dark to light. Inspired by Singaporean artist Eng Tow’s cloth relief of the same title, this piece treats the violin and viola duo as an 8-string “meta-instrument”, traversing different textures and timbres together.
