Known/ Unknown is a work split into three short movements. I imagined a ticking clock when I wrote the first movement so the piece opens with a constant, mechanical like sound. The second movement is more like an instrumental recitative, featuring the Cimbalom with accompanying violin gestures. The work finishes with the third movement, which I describe in the score as cold, delicate and erratic.
