PROGRAM NOTE
For many years, my wife Victoria and her FAB5 quintet (string quartet and percussion), have entertained thousands of people at numerous performance spaces and travel hubs in New York City, including Moynihan Train Hall, Oculus World Trade Center, Javits Center, and Chelsea Market. Having seen many of their shows, especially those at travel hubs, there's a certain tension and release you experience watching people wait anxiously for their trains, and then the release they feel when they are finally on their way. I've had these experiences myself, so I wanted to create two pieces that emulate these feelings.

Wound Up/Unwind consists of two contrasting pieces for string quartet and percussion. The first, Wound Up, for string quartet and cajón, imitates the feeling of being worried, anxious, and frustrated, especially while waiting to board a train. The second, Unwind, for string quartet and handpan, is calm and soothing, perhaps emulating the satisfying feeling of relaxing in a quiet seat as the train leaves the station. Both pieces can be performed independently and in any order.

Wound Up/Unwind is written for and commissioned by the FAB5 quintet with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Map Theme - Yoshi's Island

Music recorded by Markel A.

"Part of the soundtrack to Untitled Goose Game
Adapted by Dan Golding from Claude Debussy, Book I - Prelude No.12 - Ministrels

These tracks were recorded directly from the game, by grabbing an object, having a character chase the goose to somewhere they cannot get to but will still attempt to follow, and let the music play out until it began to repeat itself. I then used Audition to normalize the audio and separate the individual tracks.

Keep in mind the game plays the music dynamically, so my recordings will differ to what you might hear ingame and what an official soundtrack release might sound like."
