"If we don't move, he can't see us" - The Jackson Quartet

This piece refers to any passage, physical or philosophical, we can experience.
The passage as a journey, the passage of time, the passage of the sand through our fingers to the deep, the passage from
childhood to youthfulness and after to maturity, the passage of life through the idea of death.
The work examines the sound as a moving mass, attempting to create waves of varying colours, that travel through the
instruments, vertically and horizontally. The compositional process approaches the structure of the piece as a kaleidoscope
of timbres, intending to generate blocks of sonorities that clashing and contending with one another. The selection of the
pitches results from the notes that a single multiphonic produces. This limitation of pitches in the set of ten, gives space for
exploration to other musical parameters; sudden changes of dynamics, tempo, and registers, sustained notes, the
klangfarbenmelodie, and homophony, are some of the basic techniques that have been used in order to achieve
transforming and juxtaposing textures.

I Am Vertical : But I Would Rather Be Horizontal (Florida)

'Twas Later When the Summer Went - a choral setting with harp of the Emily Dickinson poem. Performed beautifully here by Melisma.

"’Twas later when the summer went
Than when the Cricket came—
And yet we knew that gentle Clock
Meant nought but Going Home—
’Twas sooner when the Cricket went
Than when the Winter came
Yet that pathetic Pendulum
Keeps esoteric Time."
