Programme Notes
Andrew McBirnie - Mechanical

>Mechanical was written in 2008 for rarescale, who first performed the work in December the same year. Based on an earlier movement for violin and cello duo and lasting a little under 2 minutes, it is characterised by a motoric, repeating note figure (which provides ample challenges in articulation for the players), around which dance barely-glimpsed motivic fragments, before the music comes to a sudden, arbitrary halt.
Mechanical was premiered by rarescale on 13 December 2008 at Shoreditch Church, London
