'Stir' takes its title from the sound made while slowly making circles on the body of the cello with the fingertips, and to the mixing of non-bowed percussive and melodic elements. The piece uses a wide range of extended techniques and the performer's pitched voice, which takes on a more traditionally cello-like role.
