Shadow Play – orch – score.mus
Shadow Play explores the ways identical sounds can be experienced differently across time. While writing the piece I found that its subtly varying textures suggested the play of light that occurs throughout a day, and in particular the different shapes, lengths, and densities that a single object’s shadow can manifest as time passes.
