Silver Awareness was composed for the flute quartet
Stranded Silver. It was inspired by Katrin Fridriks's painting
Silver Awareness. The thick swaths of color surrounded by light trails and spatters of paint are rendered as swirling, fluid lines in the flutes and quick staccato figures. Amidst the color, Fridriks creates plant-like patterns in dark greys and white — a calmer second theme contrasting with the activity of the bright colors.
