Programme Note
hukl is a treatment of “khul cuts” (for dancer and string quartet) is a treatment of “khul” (for string quartet) is a treatment of the comic book character “hulk”.
Bruce Banner (hulk) inherited mutated genes from his father’s scientific experiments on the immune system. After Bruce is accidentally exposed to gamma rays, the mutated genes take effect. Whenever he is provoked, he “explodes” with rage.
I treat the sound/musicians in a parallel manner: infecting, antagonizing, leading to explosion.
