Whispers in the Walls and Energetic Encounters

Violin and Percussion (tuned metal pipes, tuned wood slats, floor tom)

This piece is about ghosts!

Whispering in the Walls is a slow, quiet, contemplative, and eerie movement. It is meant to encapsulate the feeling of auditory hallucinations, or hearing sounds that are not there. These usually include hearing one’s name being called, voices in conversation, footsteps, etc. While Energetic Encounters is fast, exciting, and full of energy. This movement is meant to encapsulate the event of interacting with a paranormal entity. It begins with small, sporadic happenings that coalesce into a singular, tangible event. This event suddenly disappears, like it never occurred. However, this is not the end of this event. The energy slowly builds to create a large, climatic ending.
