about

Ten pieces for solo guitar inspired by the special sort of existential dread that can only come from sitting in no less than two hours of traffic daily for five consecutive days when each of those hours is spanned by eight hours of sitting in a cubicle. Other concerns while developing this material included the necessity (or lack thereof) of a score to legitimize a composition, writer’s block, lazyness in sitting down to learn a score, lazyness in sitting down to write a score, poor reading skills, poor reading habits, development, lack of development, and ruts both real and metaphysical.

Infinite thanks to Anthony Coleman, Joe Morris, and Nigel Taylor for pushing, prodding, and instigating when it was most necessary.
