The story, moment by moment

  1. Moment 01

    First winter

    Solitude was written in the first winter after moving to Canada. The ensemble falls away, and a single hang drum is left on stage.

  2. Moment 02

    The space between notes

    The solo is sparse and echoing. The silences between notes carry as much of the story as the notes themselves.

  3. Moment 03

    Starting over

    It's the quietest moment of the performance: one musician, alone in a new country, beginning again.
