Water and Sand (6'00")
PERCUSSION/TRUMPET DUET + ELECTRONICS (SOLO VERSIONS AVAILABLE)
Water and Sand is inspired by the natural elements that make up the title. While water and sand may seem like opposites in many ways, I feel they are also closely related. The waves of the ocean portray a similar image to a vast desert filled with sand dunes. As sand blows in the wind or falls down an incline, it almost resembles the flowing current of a river or waterfall. In a darker perspective, falling beneath the surface of a vast ocean is comparable to the suffocating sensation of being buried beneath a great sand dune. Raging desert sand storms create a powerful force not so different from a deadly hurricane or tsunami. The images, feelings, and story I associate with this piece are vivid, emotional, and personal. As you listen, I hope you can interpret the music in your own way and create a story in your mind that you feel connected to.
