Programme Note
Trussed explores the idea of being constrained, musically and by the strings on the bass. The composer sees the work as the seed of a bass concerto and a companion to another short solo work, Bound for violin.

Reviews
"I was most impressed by Luke Styles’ work Trussed. He named it after the captive state of the heavy strings of the Double Bass, often dubbed the 'Ugly Duckling' of the orchestra. The work is a revelation with David Flynn emphasising the versatility of the instrument with alternating pizzicato and legato and frequent use of the lowest note of the orchestra. Exhilarating and definitely my favourite of a superb octet."
