Framework consists of two layers of music: one which is slowly descending, the other ascending. In both layers voices gently enter and exit at different rates of speed, subtly
changing the orchestra’s color over a brief four minutes. Framework is also the first in a series of pieces for varying instrumentation which all focus on the dichotomy between chronometric and lived time.

Framework was premiered by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra at the Winnipeg New Music Festival of 2024, as part of their sixth annual composer’s institute, with financial support from the WSO Canadian Voice Fund, the Williamson Foundation for Music and the Manitoba Arts Council.
