My simple measured steps have brought me here (2023)
Commissioned and premiered by Duo Axis.
My simple measured steps have brought me here is a spacious, improvisatory exploration of a sound world. Although unusual for my work, I found myself developing a narrative as I worked on the piece:
"Footsteps cause excitement and activity around you. Unsure of the nature of this activity, you on the path. You continue. You continue. You sense something in the near distance and you begin to walk more regularly, settling into a comfortable rhythm. The activity coalesces around you like a cloud of dust and silt and you believe, correctly, that you see something in its midst. You see it again. And again, but it barely reveals itself. And again - is it changing? It evades you as you step towards it, and soon disappears. You stop walking."
