Composing music for performance can mean tight deadlines and cutting corners to get the work on stage. A piece is performed and then the music gets filed away. Late 2020 afforded me the opportunity to root around in my shoebox of music for dance and unearth, revisit, rework and remix a handful of pieces. It was a profound honor to create this work with the brilliant artists below and I’m proud and pleased to give this material another life. Thanks for listening!
