Zugzwang is a commission from Move Manchester, a dance company with a show of the same name. The show, and music explores the 'Zugzwang' idea from chess, where they are faced with loss, and any move is travelling towards an inevitable defeat. This is a theme really applicable to all parts of daily life and the show explores the relationship between two dancers as they interact together towards a Zugzwang moment. The track takes lots of inspiration from Nils Frahm.
