Additional Information

For brass ensemble.

About the piece: Torque is built from different musical ideas that act like cogs in a machine, each one simple in itself but combining with others to make a more complex system. Some 'cog' ideas build enough momentum to move away in new directions, driving new cogs around them. The piece moves through the machine listening to different sections of it, each section with its own level of action, its own combination of speeds, power, and complexities.
