You're Never Far Away - mix

This is part of a series of tracks designed for headphones.... although it works on speakers too. 
It is about memory and place. 

Place, Time, Space

This piece was inspired by a play of light on a wall that I once observed during a rather boring lecture in university. The light was coming through cracks and holes on top of a heavy curtain, which was swaying slightly in the wind. The motion of the curtain produced mesmerizing light patterns on the wall behind the lecturer. This work was written for and premiered by the German accordionist Olivia Steimel. 

Instrumentation: solo free-bass accordion

This piece represented Canad at the ISCM World New Music Days 2013.

Broadly, any metalanguage is language or symbols used when language itself is being discussed or examined. In logic and linguistics, a metalanguage is a language used to make statements about statements in another language (the object language). Expressions in a metalanguage are often distinguished from those in an object language by the use of italics, quotation marks, or writing on a separate line.

For 16 soloists, choir and electronics.
