welcome to what I am most proud of to date -- some lovely string arrangements for voices, piano and my voice -- but my arranging/composing voice. I am starting to meld into my identity. When people advise you to embrace yourself, whatever does that mean -- but more importantly to my current specs, what does that entail?
For me, it is a little bit about labels, in an NLP sense of what sensory experientials they connote and thus what my work will embody. Impressionistic minimalism. That's me...I think. Marrying the beautiful washes of the French painters with the bare bones approach of nothing wasted gifted to us by minimalism (think whitacre and lauridsen drinking absinthe in a cafe with Part!)
This is all a good discovery going into a year of the most commissions I have had to date. It is so lovely to have opportunities to shape things -- dance, film, concert music, abstract performance art. Suffice it to say, everything is loosening up and falling into place -- even my high notes!
