"Thispiece for String Quartet explores Albert Camus’s The Stranger. Eachmovement tries to capture not only plot, but also the complex philosophy of theAbsurd. Absurdism is a philosophy that explains the human condition and ourpurpose in life. Unlike Existentialism, which empowers the individual to createpurpose, or Nihilism, that asserts the meaninglessness of life, Absurdism is amiddle ground philosophy asserting that an individual isstuck in a meaninglessness existence – but that one must still livepassionately with a strong love for life while fighting society and theconditions of that meaninglessness. This complex idea is translated musicallyby the numerous occasions of a C Major chord followed by one voice moving to aG#. This tension is never resolved throughout the majority of the work and theharmonic spelling of that G# is maintained consistently."
