    The full score of Cameron Lam's fast and fun quartet, Interweave, originally arranged for saxophone quartet for the Nexas Saxophone Quartet in 2017. Also includes all instrument parts. [Digital download score]

    Interweave deals with the symbolic concept of shared destiny through the idea of an interwoven tapestry or pattern, requiring many different threads (in this case musical motives) interacting to produce the final result, a completed pattern/tapestry highlighting how everyone’s destinies are linked.

about

Waiting is based around ideas presented in semiotician Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse. This book maps the fractured, random language that lovers speak - including the very archetypal and musically relevant act of Waiting. This is expressed on the surface through the length and slow progression of the music, but relates more to the ensemble dynamic required to perform the piece. The piece is written in time-space - the performers to progress through different events in the music by co-operative, spontaneous decision-making.

For the individual, this means waiting for cues and signs drawn and stretched out over the full breath of each instrumentalist. The ensemble here is held together by the tension of waiting - throwing their own ropes out to each other in lieu of more artificial, regular and regulated subdivisions of time.
