Obscura (for solo horn)

“Cause/Effect” is a piece for solo cello that was written in preparation for studying at the 2023 New York New Music Intensive with composer Alyssa Weinberg and cellist Gabriel Cabezas.

This is the moment before everything falls apart, a non-linear articulation of love, loss, and the process of embracing my lack of control. This piece is not about decay, but dissipation, disorientation, and the mindless blur between cause and effect. Moments of stagnancy rest between our ongoing push and pull until inevitably, everything fractures and fades away.

We have no control over this. We must accept this, and move forward.

Questions For Duncan

You guys may have already heard this one. Open Up! Adore!, the second track off of my EP, "And So The Dreamer Meets The Doubter".

"Take my heart, 
 And take my care. 
 I want to see you with me 
 Everywhere. 
 Take my hand 
 And don't let it go. 
 At least not until 
 We make it home. 

 At least not until we make it home. 

 I know I'm not too great at talking, 
 I swear it's not your fault. 
 But darling, you're my grain of sugar 
 Amidst a tide of salt. 
 And I know you're out there, 
 But I shake it off 
 And pretend like I don't care. 

 Take my heart, 
 And take my care. 
 I want to see you with me 
 Everywhere. 
 Take my hand 
 And don't let it go. 
 At least not until 
 We make it home. 

 I know I can be a little stubborn, 
 I can be a little mean. 
 You said it doesn't matter... 
 What are you thinking? 
 You said that it'll hold together, 
 But you don't know at all. 
 I try and make you better 
 Before you watch me fall, 
 And oh, it's so much harder to leave something 
 When you actually like it. 

 I know that I could try and run 
 But that'll do 
 No good for me and you 
 Or anyone else. 
 I know that I could try and run... 
 ...But I don't want to. 

 Take my heart, 
 And take my care. 
 I want to see you with me 
 Everywhere. 
 Take my hand 
 And don't let it go. 
 At least not until 
 We make it home. 

 Take my heart! 
 I know you're grabbing at it. 
 Take my heart! 
 You want it? You can have it. 
 Take my heart! 
 I've gotta kill this habit. 
 I'm running home to you. 

 I'm running home, I'm running home to you."
