The composition Fragments of Blue … for flute, violin, cello and piano was written as a commission for the Green Thing Ensemble and was premiered at the Alte Schmiede Kunstverein, Cultural Center in Vienna, in 2014. That same year, the ensemble performed the composition on the International Week of New Music in Bucharest.
The Tonsatz of the composition is based on the microtonal relations of the string instruments (a1 = 427.47 Hz) with other (standardly tuned) instruments. Microtonal relations were established using the technique of rhythmic modulations on variable metric lengths. The composition is inspired by the literary motifs from the story “Wedgwood“ tea set, by Serbian writer Milorad Pavić.
