Jean Ahn’s Archimedes Principle for violin and harpsichord takes source material from a Korean pop song, A Thorn Tree by Duckyu Ha, and is inspired by its lyrics: “There’s so much of me inside of myself, there’s no place for you to rest.” Ahn writes that “the Archimedes Principle is what makes the ships float. Only when my inner self is emptied will I be able to rise up to the surface of the water.”

What a brilliant piece and performance from two incredible artists. I loved seeing Byron stand up and go inside the harpsichord!

Yes! So much fun to see contemporary extended techniques applied to a historical instrument!
