Velvet

Composed as the world was reemerging from Covid restrictions, Velvet represents part indulgence and part reboot of my creative process. The piece progresses through several rotations, or cycles, of material that continually evolve, revisiting ideas both simple and complex and casting them in new contexts. Composed both for live performance and for a film celebrating Musiqa’s twentieth anniversary season, the piece allows room for deep, rich timbres and long, lyrical melodies that I find particularly attractive.

Composed 2021. Approximate duration: 7 min.
