Piano Karaoke II: Magaira Variations

recorded live at the King Center in Denver, CO, on 10/16/2015

david e. farrell, live electronics
sarah whitnah, violin

composer's note:

Sudden Light is the most lyrical of the works. The electronic accompaniment is subdued behind the expressive lines of the violin. The chordal sounds are complimented by recorded sounds of humanity – both individual breath and the rustling voices of a crowd. Subdued sounds transform into brilliant ones throughout the course of the work.
