Composers Lab

For Italo Calvino, who created systems of systems of systems of memory.
For Antonio Vivaldi, who cut into silence like a razor.
For Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach, whose looking glass was most deliciously twisted.
And for that moment in the rickety hall of mirrors where, surrounded by my image projected into infinity, I caught a glimpse of a shadow of some unimaginable horror. A strange sense of déjà vu… a second later, the shadow had vanished.

(performed by the Yale Philharmonia, conducted by Shinik Hahm)
