(Re)Construction - Mixed Chamber Ensemble
Flute, Tenor Saxophone, Violin, Cello, Piano, Drumset (Classic Rock)
Parts are included with the zip file.
Recorded by Wet Ink Ensemble during a reading session at the University of South Carolina in October 2023.
Duration: ca. 4'20"
The impetus for this piece is my experience of living in Nashville, Tennessee. I arrived in 2012, just before the city underwent explosive growth, becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
Nashville's skyline is adorned with cranes wherever you look. This growth extends beyond the city limits into the surrounding suburbs, including the town where my parents reside. Farms and forests there have given way to new subdivisions, and what was once a landscape of natural beauty is now shaped by human hands. This microcosm mirrors the overarching changes in Nashville.
This composition serves as a narrative of the city from my perspective. With each visit back home, I witness something old being replaced by something new, an inevitable part of life's progression. However, sometimes what is lost is irreplaceable. The soundscape of this composition can best be described as 'urban new age rot,' a term that encapsulates the emotional essence of this evolving city from my perspective.
