The idea of the composite instrument can be traced back to the works I wrote for prerecorded and live soloist beginning around 1988. In my works Afatsim for mixed ensemble, Die Kreuzung for U (Alto-Shô or Accordion), Alto-Saxophone and Double-bass, and the String Quartet, disparate instruments become a single composite instrument. Contrarily, in Ina and other pieces of this time, a singular instrument is unbraided into disparate voices. At the time, this suggested an exploration into the drama of the singular persona (and thus the singular performer) confronted with the many divergent voices within. Ina unequivocally retains a certain narrative and dramatic conception in its play between the soloist and his or her internal environment. The piece is dedicated to John Sebastian Winston. – Chaya Czernowin)
