Fabrication 2: Cut is a component part of a larger 32-movement cycle for various ensembles ranging from solos and duos to works for orchestra. These Fabrications explore more mechanical approaches to generating music. Each has a subtitle; a synonym of ‘fabrication’ which says something about the piece itself.
Fabrication 2 is an instrumental gloss on Fabrication 27: Romance in which the music cuts between two strands of activity
