Thomas Bedggood is a young Christchurch composer and violinist who’s been studying at the University of Canterbury.

Mark Menzies plays the first two movements of his Sonata for solo violin, ‘Mote’ ... ‘mote’ being a small speck of dust, especially one floating in a beam of light.

Thomas was inspired by different aspects of light and colour for the three movements of ‘Mote’: the first movement by a golden suffused glow and the second by the cold-warm light of ice.
