About

Program

This work was made for some of my favorite people on this earth, Dan and Ayami.

Two maniac percussionists who form the Shiki Duo. They asked me to write them a piece for their tour of Japan in 2016 which I finished while in Rome, heading to the Cortona Sessions.

The piece is very quiet and pensive, imagining a story of two travelers whose pilgrimage take them through the cosmos.

Worlds are moments. Galaxies a flicker in time.

The two travelers sing dyads that open up universes.

The marimba is merely their path.
