Note from the Composer:

​

This piece lives within the embodied essence of nightfall, the process for which involved twelve

evenings spent free-writing single lines of music in silence, a friend nearby each time.

 

Many lines in this piece, the solo and duet lines most specifically, were derived from the lines I

wrote during these evenings spent, and I consider them directly connected, on an embodied level,

to each specific individual who was by my side during these moments. I see a connection here

also to the streams of wind flowing all around us always and the permeable nature of existence.

 

This piece moves through time gradually and spatially. Spatial reference points shift throughout while

linear time turns; we are carried through multiple physical dimensions while the sun sets and the

moon rises. Texture and color changes, as well as referential movement of sun and moon, have

been structurally embedded into this piece through a compositional technique that I call liminalation.

 

The way in which sound fills a space in time is similar to that of light, or water, or the wind we

breathe in each moment. It seems the same could be true for consciousness.
