program note

This piece is about sensation: sound as a tactile, vibratory, physical, and corporeal sensation. The piece invites the performer to listen through their entire body, to feel the vibration of their instrument upon their fingertips; to feel this vibration in themselves, and attend to it. Vibration as celebration.
