Name: Dragonflies by Dawn Whitney
Duration: 3 min 27 s
Description: I wrote it with no specific goal, but realized while camping this captures a pond I hiked by that was amply populated with dragonflies. This work is light, flighty, dense at times, and uplifting at times. Enjoyable work for a change. Perhaps Thoreau was hanging around.

A very beautiful composition, soundscape and instrumentation, congratulations! 👏 I like a special dragonfly pond like that too.

Album D' Apres Le Folklore 'A La Dalouna' par Dia Succari

When the sun is fading, hiding behind the leaves, 
the nature loses its fresh strength,
all colorful beauty takes a last breath.
This is the magic of fall !

A Piano and Symphonic Orchestra set this to sound in G-major:
Starting with Melancholy, as the lonely piano introduces the farewell,
continuing with exuberant joy, as the leaves swirl through the autumn air one last time.
Cevouring Strings carry the autumn up, into the far distance.
Finally the fall gives space to winter, presented by brass instruments. Like fanfares, they blow their expectations into the wideness of space.
The music closes with a fierce repetition of the initial melody, 
all wishes and promises are now directed to the long cold winter.

Dragonflies

This is a light hearted Pierrot ensemble that was very fun to write. It's got shelfs of the full percussion instruments but also melodic spurts from the strings.

Passing Acquaintance

The Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time - Sheik's Theme - Vibraphone Cover By Fabricator

Live electronics with vibrating shells looking at the vitality of eco-anxieties and corporatized blackness fueled by:

"brushes of swiftness of adrenalines,
swirling anxieties,
late night snacks,
burst of laughters/cries,
sweeps of turntables states,
eradication and amplification of blackness,
vibrating collected trophies,
absences of resilience,
sweetness of life,
bent physicalities,
sore braiding fingers."

I write classical music for wind, brass, and strings, all while living in Sacramento, CA. My music is either pretty light or dramatic. I'm a Cancer the crab, maybe that's it.
