Something I catch myself saying a lot is: “I’m not good with words; that’s why I’m a musician.”  This piece was a first, conscious attempt to help bridge my gap between language and music.  I found theater to be an effective means to connect them, and a way to express urgency in a cloud of inarticulateness.

With rhetoric ruled by musical models instead of grammar, I wrote the score as if it was a script.  The audience, however, only hears one character’s dialogue in this story.  I invite the listener to imagine what may provoke the protagonist’s speech and articulation, and to reflect on how that dialogue may resonate with them.

Tan solo unos cuantos Parsecs nos separan, mas yo se que volverás a la orilla de este mar.
