About this piece
Seven short movements for cello duo, trio or quartet, commissioned by Cellists for Change and premiered at the group's 2025 concert The Fabric of Sound: Celebrating Neurodiversity in Music in Boulder, Colorado. In her programme note Kraakevik, who was diagnosed with autism and a sensory disorder late in college, ties each movement to a fabric and a memory: I. Melon Tulle, II. Midnight Fleece (a calm, two-part piece in the low register about rocking in a fleece blanket after sensory overload), III. Cognac Leather, IV. Lemon Chiffon, V. Red Satin, VI. Tartan Plaid (school uniforms worn as 'armor', with Dorian and Celtic touches) and VII. Celadon Supima. Youth players and teaching artists of Cellists for Change recorded three movements. The score is not sold publicly; ask Cellists for Change (info@cellistsforchange.org).
