​

go: even further is a companion piece to a short solo-violin encore I had previously composed entitled go. go was a quick “in-and-out” in every respect; despite the piece being composed within one (inspiration-struck) day, the two-minute work itself started with a bang and ended before a distracted listener might even realize the piece had begun. However, its material, especially the unexpected quality of sustain which emerged from its relentless sixteenth notes, demanded I explore the piece at greater length and reconfigure it into a new formation. go had thus become the backbone of go: even further, in which additional compositional dimensions magnify and bring new life to the unlocked potential of go’s original material.
