Mirage 2 was written as a parallel piece to an earlier work entitled Mirage. The concept of mirage is reflected in the brevity and fleeting quality of both works.
Mirage 2 further explores the idea of the real vs. the illusory through its treatment of gesture and timbre. Air tones, percussive attacks and soft tremolos juxtaposed with jagged melodic lines blur the boundaries between sound and silence, pitch and noise, monody and harmony.
