This 5-6 minute long piece was written for the flautist Ruth Morley, who gave the first performance.

The download includes a full score, full permission to perform in concert and permission to record for non-commercial uses.

In this piece two very contrasting types of music are allowed to collide. As the piece progresses, the "spiky music" becomes more condensed and frantic, while the "lyrical music" is allowed more and more space and freedom. You can imagine this as a musical depiction of a "battle for survival" between two different colonies of ants.
