(bronze mirror)

Jonathan IJzerlooij and Aleix Sala, celli

Performed on 24 April 2014, Studio 1, Koninklijk Conservatorium.

1. When visiting a museum of historical artifacts, one might encounter a small bronze mirror about the size of a human palm.

2. These artifacts have elaborate engravings on their non-reflective side. The engravings depict images ranging from abstract patterns to scenes of symbolic animals.

3. The reflective side is never shown, perhaps due to tarnishing and deterioration.

When I write, I like to think about pluralism, class, and identity as it exists in all the unspoken ways it does among creative peoples. I also reflect often on how to live a meaningful life and how to love.

My works have been realized primarily across Europe and the United States. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in piano performance and composition from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and a Master’s degree in composition from the Royal Conservatoire of the Hague. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, California.
