Instrumentation: Alto Saxophone & Harp. Duration: 9 mins
Program Notes:
This piece was conceived, composed, and finished while constantly clashing against different pathways and possibilities. Time and time again I found myself in different bisected roads as the title suggests and much like in life’s many unknowable and erratic decision-making processes, I just let the material suggest the constant ebb and flow of expressive interaction that happens between both instruments. Amidst all this seemingly diffuse and foggy landscape the piece initially suggests, different “truths” and ideas take shape, blur, and materialize.
The issue of just being, melancholy, nostalgia, and the uncertainty of the present and future are explored.
