This piece was inspired by Anelecia Hannah Brooks' painting. "Untier of Knots," I looked at it and saw the red yarn all tangled up and interpreted it as a heart. She's presenting her heart to be untied. It is a vulnerable, but also calm scene. I put myself into her position, and sat down at the piano with a tangled knot heart and played this piece. -Zach Caldwell

The One Day Dreams Of Little Girls-Bradley Hawkins

This piece was written as a musical response in a conversation through art. I was entranced by the act of reflection that was evident on this man's face. In my interpretation I understood the man to have lost his mobility. While somber, rather, my focus was nostalgia. The piece is formed completely around a recording of a walk I had taken along the canal near Seattle Pacific's campus. A simple combination of bass guitar, acoustic guitar, wind chimes, and an improvised vocal contribute to the sounds I hear while looking at this magnificent painting. I hope that this music can assist each individual in a unique and spiritual interpretation of this painting.
