The Abyss And The Apogee (Live Excerpt 1)

The Abyss And The Apogee

Reading by ~Nois Saxophone Quartet.

Program notes: The piece depicts someone looking back on their life, disappointed with how it has turned out and wishing things had gone differently. The character fantasizes about some highly implausible, unrealistic alternative narrative but then becomes depressed once reality comes crashing back in. Finally, the character comes to acknowledge things as they are and resolves to make the most of them.

Regrets and Possibilities

A blues-inflected solo piano piece contrasting minor and major 12-bar blues.

Live version performed by Jeremiah Trujillo.

Bearless Blues (Live)

Bearless Blues

First Place Winner, MACCC 2025 Composition Competition

Performed by Friction Quartet at Las Positas College on May 22, 2025.

Program note: This work depicts someone reflecting on their life's sense of incompleteness, that there's something more to life out there. The "more" here isn't the kind that more money or "stuff" will fix. The character catches just a glimpse of the "more" before being pulled back to their current state, with the sense of incompleteness becoming increasingly acute.
