Flow

While writing this particular piece for the Chelsea Symphony I didn't necessarily have a theme or specific concept in mind. It was written with more thought going towards the performers in my new ensemble Flow State, which consists of 2 Saxes, 1 Electric Guitar, 1 Electric Bass, 1 Electric Keyboard, and Percussion. The ensembles name is derived from my solo electric guitar loop-based EP, Flow State, meaning to be completely immersed or absorbed in ones thoughts and actions. The ensemble has a wide range of ability, being classically trained as well as having an in depth knowledge of improvisation. These qualities drive me compositionally and ables Flow State to have a wide range of sound and style. The Three Episodes are simply three sections in the piece that begin through-composed and develop into improvisatory soundscapes.
