Prayer for an unknown entity represents a call to the vast unknown. The vocals (which can be live or taped) provide a mantra of repeating chords while the violin swoops up and down, hoping to be heard by the "entity". The piece ends a second inversion of uncertainty.
The work is dedicated to Daniel Mihai, who performed it in 2013 as part of the "15 minutes of fame" event.

This was originally written for, and performed by, the violinist Daniel Mihai (with me vocalising the accompaniment) back in 2013
(The video of Daniel's and my performance can be found
at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6F4xvNBMpQ).
I thought it would be interesting to use other instrumental versions.
This one is transposed down a fifth from the original.
