The earth remembers in grains (2025) - Live Performance

This body of work is collectively called The earth remembers in grains, the title of my final recital. I conceived this program as a single performance project to thread together major works with smaller explorations and improvisations, presented at APAX Warehouse on June 19th, 2025. This research project includes four scored works: Wormwood (2022), Ice Bubbles (2023), Blooming (2025) and Rubble (2025). In addition to these works, this performance also includes two short improvisations and two other original works which feature extended overtone technique - Hymn (2024) and Snowgrass (2023).
