You Were the Window
The Room Series Part 4

for contrabass and room (pre-recorded electronics)

c. 6' 15"

about:

The other instrument in this duet is the Room, an electronics track comprised of sounds made from objects in my bedroom. Such sounds include cups, rocks, rubber bands, metal bottles, a music box, and jewlery, among others.
As the final part of the Room Series, this piece explores creativity in solitude; it focuses on listening to one's surroundings, and through that ultimately finding freedom.

The Room Series is partially inspired by this poem by Ocean Vuong.
