shadow in the garden
instrumentation | piano trio + optional additional strings
date | 2023
duration | c. 5'+
premiere | commissioned by Ensemble for These Times, premiere upcoming at San Francisco Conservatory on 04.15.2023
note | I love listening to music alone, especially late at night - details feel different, somehow heavier and closer to skin. I love the focus of a dark space, with sounds emerging almost alive (even in earbuds). Memory springs forth too, I have found.
In live performance, this dark feels like another material to play through & around. Its presence asks for a trust that there are other people really out there, while giving the intimate gift of music alone; closeness in distance.
In forms unfolding from memory and shared motion, music by yourself is about connecting to people who are and aren’t still here.
