Close to Shore

I am currently spending a bit of time re-writing my piece Close to Shore for contrabass flute and ensemble, for the fantastic Carla Rees (low flute specialist), and a 12-piece flute choir. It is taking me a while, and the decision-making process somehow seems slower than writing a new piece from scratch...
The original version is for contrabass flute and 12 solo strings (written for Richard Craig and NYOS:Futures), based on my experience of seeing an Ocean Sunfish (and its accompanying shoal of smaller fish), while snorkelling in the Mediterranean Sea many years ago.
