what if...
for pierrot ensemble + (c. 7'45")
Written during the summer and fall of 2015, what if... is a piece that seeks to explore one moment of music to its fullest as both a micro and macro idea. The piece was inspired by a question that my teacher would ask me whenever he sensed me getting stuck in my own music. He would refer to it as a game, saying, "Well why don't you play the 'What if' game with your materials this week?" This compositional exercise is the goal of the piece; to utilize about 2 seconds of sound to generate an entire piece.
Performed by the Virtuosi Players of the Brno Filharmonie and recorded in 2016 with Ablaze Records.
