Inner Reef acts as an introduction to the
Isle Royale Rhythms and Accents collection (and it has an introduction of sorts itself).
Inner Reef is made up of an ostinato on the open bass strings with shifting chromatic harmonies and a martial melody above it. Dramatic tension exists between the stasis of the ostinato and the forward moving energy of the other elements.
The title
Inner Reef comes from a place name on Isle Royale in Lake Superior.
Inner Reef is part of a six-piece collection featuring locales found on the island.
