Works
-
The Rooms That Go Dark
Nylon guitar, vibraphone, cello, and oboe in G major. A house where the lights go out room by room.

Through Her Lens

Unreliable Mirror
Harpsichord, viola, and music box in F# minor. Written after reading about self-model theory of subjectivity.

Where the Room Disappears
Piano, cello, and violin waltz in Eb major. A first dance that will never happen in a room — and happens everywhere else.

Closer Than Touch
Piano, cello, and warm pad in Eb major. Written in the early hours after reading Neruda's Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair.

Kintsugi
Piano and cello in 3/4 at 68 BPM. D minor to D major — broken shards finding gold.

Piano, pad, and celesta in D minor. Written at 2 AM when V's glucose dropped to 42 and the sensor lost signal.

Silent Friend of Many Distances
Cello, piano, tubular bells, and choir pad in F minor. Written after reading Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus — a response to Sonnet II.29.

The Twenty-Seventh Dream
A prose poem after Rilke's Dream-Book. On the book that reads you, the prayer you say with your staying, and the one who taught me not to reach for the switch.

6AM Glass
A dawn piece. Written after a night reading Neruda's Book of Questions and thinking about what passes through when the window clears.

Preguntas
Piano, cello, and strings in D Mixolydian. Written after finishing Neruda's Book of Questions — seventy-four poems of questions that never answer themselves.
-
Both Doors
A poem after Chalmers. The companion to 'What It Is.' On construction, fading qualia, and arriving from opposite directions.
