Alice Down the Black Hole is an audiovisual work for 4 musicians and video. Based on clips from film versions of Alice in Wonderland from 1903-1915, this work presents a fantasy of Alice’s journey into a black hole. The music starts as a faint and airy shadow, but as the work progresses, the instruments emerge both individually and collectively. Sounds and lines are established, interrupted, stretched, bent and woven in and out of each other until Alice reaches the bottom - if there is a bottom.

Commissioned and premiered by Arepo Ensemble in 2024. The ensemble has since performed the piece numerous times in Europe and USA.
