this is the seventh piece in an ongoing series of short works, mostly for solo wind instruments other pieces in the series are for clarinet, bass flute, melodica, pump organ this series of works lives in borderlands expanses between sound and silence, breath and tone, movement and stillness “not only to render the things themselves but also the spaces between them” (s. hustvedt) when I am writing this series, I keep coming back to the same question: how can a piece of music breathe with the world? calm tones calm silences some other (quiet) sounds are present for erica roozendaal
