Still Air 1 explores the subtle yet intricate sonorities of quiet sounds, seamlessly blending the live instrument with prepared electronic textures. It is the first in a series of works for solo wind instruments and electronics. In contrast to many of my other compositions, which focus on speed and density, this cycle seeks musical expression through minimal activity and restraint.
