The Spirit & the Dust
“Dinuk has effectively captured the vastly varied tone colours of the marimba in his evocative piece ‘The Spirit and the Dust’. Written in memory of my late nephew Cameron Thomas Haynes, each movement breathtakingly explores the never ending mysteries of life and death. This truly is a marimba masterpiece” – Beverley Johnston
“[Dinuk] has a remarkable facility and flexibility. More specifically, what he’s able to do so expertly is articulate a mix of sounds and a mix of worlds. It’s exactly the kind of piece that appeals to me, and it’s the kind of direction I like to see composers who are writing for chamber music go in.” – Roman Borys, the GRYPHON TRIO
