I have a deep attraction to the ruggedness of forests and the intense vibrations they emit. Although this piece was not directly inspired by forests, nor is it programatic in other sense for that matter, I feel it brought the nature lover out in me. I think of my music a bit like an English garden, in which the ruggedness of nature is allowed to resonate, with the gardener guiding plants rather than forcing them into geometrical shapes and forms. While I do write very precise harmonies, timbres and textures, I like to allow the music to breath and flow in a way that reflects the natural textures, motions and layers of a forest.
