Mixed Ensemble [5’]
Silver Traces was commissioned by Colin Matthews, and written for players of the London Symphony Orchestra, as part of a project enabling the 2020/21 Panufnik cohort to create work under lockdown conditions.
‘Chris McCormack’s Silver Traces pits strings and percussion in eerie opposition to create a work of spellbinding intensity’ - Kate Wakeling, BBC Music Magazine.
‘The initial sounds are delectably seductive, but the drama comes as the two realms exert a pull on each other, transforming over time with McCormack's background as a recording engineer coming into the soundworld of the piece’ - Robert Hugill
