After Long Drought (2016) for vibraphone and live, interactive electroacoustics takes its inspiration from a poem with the same title by Wally Swist:

The sky rips open
after days of grinding heat, 
waves of meadow grass

shift in the blowing rain, 
and floating on the breadth 
of its extended wings,

as bright as a vision,
the great blue heron 
strokes through the storm.

The percussionist’s virtuosic foray through Swist’s evocative work conjures images of an aggressive summer squall, with its torrential driving rain and gusting wind reflecting life’s unpredictability and tumult. As the piece progresses, the storm fades into the background as our focus is directed to a peaceful calm discovered amidst the storm – a heron majestically gliding through the gale. After Long Drought was commissioned by Scott Deal. After Long appears with the author’s permission and is published in Winding Paths Worn through Grass (Chicago, IL: Virtual Artists Collective, 2012).

People are too cool and put together these days. What happened to fatboy slim. What happened to late 90's dance pop? where did uncool fun go? love your neighbors and yourself and also people who live too far away for them to really be called neighbors. But in a real way tho arent we all neighbors? #bigthoughtssmallworld

Premiered by Jeffrey Milarsky conducting the Juilliard Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall, April 3rd 2017.


In this moment, all is a flower.

Look at the wide sky on the sea. In that blue, we cannot see the far-off flame. See the blossoms drifting under the sunrise in rain. In that red, waves take them to the unknown.

In this moment, all is a flower.
