Invasive Biota is a textural piece for string quartet exploring four textural layers representative of invasive flora and fauna that disrupt a given ecosystem. These four layers are birds, trees, wind and ground animals and each have a different textural and timbral quality that overall creates an eerie soundscape of an ecosystem being destroyed by these elements. No tonal centre is given or key, as the sounds produced are

percussive rather than harmonious and melodic, thus relying on dynamic and rhythmic variety.
