Live from Sandbox Music Series

LIVE FROM SANDBOX MUSIC SERIES, Part 2
​Inspired by the writings of C.G. Jung on symbols of transformation. 

Throughout the work lush textures of acoustic sound unconsciously transform into amplified masses without notice.  As a statement about places in our unconscious where mysterious transformations happen, the work is a meditation for the now.

Commissioned and Premiered by New Mexico Contemporary Ensemble, this work was conceived as 14 one measure pieces for a postcard exchange in honor of James Tenney and was recorded in February of 2020.
released May 1, 2020
