PREMIERE: This piece, written while at UC Davis and probably my most ambitious project, was created for my partner, pianist Sakurako Kanemitsu, but has not yet received a premiere. If you might be interested in a full or partial premiere of the work, please reach out and I would be delighted to chat. The work is an exploration of dream logic, nature, and ecological collapse.
