In this Intervention the composer Liza Lim reflects on the interwoven and textilic character of her music-making, and on the improvising and collaborative relationship that she sustains with her materials. The Intervention focuses specifically on knots as a way of thinking about the creative interactions between people, instruments, musical materials and processes, and temporal structures.
