Cracks in the Pavement…

Soprano, Alto, and Four Percussionists (4.3 marimba and resonating metals)

This piece is meant to capture the mundane feeling of traveling through life while mentally elsewhere. Whether your thoughts are in the future, you are thinking of loved ones far away, or reminiscing the past, you are disassociating from your present reality. Based on a poem I wrote, the piece is broken into six sections (one for each line of the poem). Each section begins with a reading of the line followed by music that is meant to sonically capture the essence of the text.
