2 lyres reflects on the journey string instruments have had. After seeing a video of two nu-metal guitarists playing together, I suddenly felt the history and the distance from the original string instruments, and how so often music was played in intimate, familial settings. I therefor set out to write a very simple piece (as I had to play it) which creates a rocking, lullaby sensation. It is no grand gesture, there are no statements, or remarks, only music built from short improvisations.
