Through the amalgamation of amplified live playing with the audio of edited cello recordings,
and through the use of a small number of materials, the piece seeks to create a sonic world which surrounds and envelops the audience like a bear hug of sorts, shifting between a warm and protective embrace to a suffocating aggressive intensity.



The piece was commissioned by Meitar Ensemble, and is dedicated to Yoni Gotlibovich who premiered it at CEME Festival 2022.
