Mechanical Thaw

Instrumentation: fixed media

Year: 2021

Duration: 4.5 minutes

Program Note:
Mechanical Thaw is a short work.  The idea for the piece came from slow, synthetic, icy chords that grow and develop over time.  The chords are punctuated with recordings of radio and other natural sounds.  The piece reflects an attempt to reach the outside world, a feeling common to so many of us during this pandemic.
