I Fit All Of Your Burdens Into A Marble- for Trombone Quartet

diaphanous lies
[...and she tugged the curtains shut—as if the frail sheer fabric could somehow shield us from oblivion]

When no relying matter could shelter its nuances,
a flattening will erase all material vicissitudes.
Frail images, simulations, and plasticity.

Tort, ruse or feint.
Its tyrannizing lies are nevertheless unfailing.

• Program Notes:
It is in the pursuit of a resilient catalyst spark,
one that will transcend the unsound cyclic nature of uncertainty,
that the afterlight reveals a retaliating barrenness adorned with thorns.
(responsorial)
Bottomless mudcracks penetrate the viscera of the imagined world. 
Yet, in absence, life treads forwards, whispers rise as unwavering chants.
The beauty of the scorched land lies in the abundance of juxtaposed 
impossibilities.
Still, the soul wanders amidst harsh epiphanies that unfold their coarse
truth.
Fate, for now, is adjourned.

• Program Notes:

This piece speaks to the paradoxical idea of molding existence into non-existence. Perhaps it seeks a dialogue between what is tangible and what is not—and imagined like so. 
It delves into a sense of interconnected temporalities and imagines what could travel across planes. 
There is also the perception of heaviness and the charged icons of one's personal narrative. 
This work talks about types of presences, reimagined objects, and whatever impalpable things accompany them. Intentional creation and impermanence. 

"He throws a stone today and kills a bird yesterday" (Ulli Beier, 1970). I have always interpreted the Yoruba aforism on Eshu as a reflection on consequences that defy our conventional understanding of time, in connections that appear impossible between cause and effect. 
To me, one challenge of creating lies in incorporating a possible future into a version of the past, although neither can exist.

In this piece, some sounds were simply laid flat. Others were revived or borrowed from elsewhere. What connects them (or not) is what I'm currently identifying as my own.
