pop song

This is a live performance piece composed and performed during my undergraduate career in receiving a Bachelor's in music.  It is meant to be performed for Voice, Synth, and Playback File with accompanying visuals.

The program notes are as follows:

An atmospheric and improvisatory soundscape exploring the ebb and flow of human intimacy.  From inner soliloquy to interpersonal expression, it is a disjunct tableau of first meeting to final goodbye.

Special thanks to Anson for voice acting!
