I settled on the title of the first section, “Night Out”, as the sound space reminded me of urban settings. The space permitted me to explore patterns from the arrangement of motives.

The second section, “Not Belonging”, emanated from a search for other urban sounds. Thus, the urban soundscape became a bookend for the project.

This was created using digital processing and animated synthesis in Max/MSP.

After the somber opening of the Pandemic Suite (part I) and the fanfare of endurance (part II), the suite now glides in Allegro through scenes of carefree joy— a vivid remembrance of days when life was still perceived without a shadow, and laughter moved freely through the air.

Pandemic Suite – 03. Transit

In collaboration with Francess Harris. She played the piano composition and I did the composition of the orchestral arrangement. Thank you for listening and enjoy. Any comment is appreciated always.
