S U L

Sul, for solo double bass, is inspired by my own experiences of observing the intricate choreography light creates as it travels through the natural world, specifically the sunlight that flows through the tree branches when observing from the ground. The concept of those fragile moments with the visual strength that these small performances create inspired me to consider ways in which I can occupy a similar performative space within sound. As abstract art is an important element to my compositional process when making formal and structural decisions, this piece takes inspiration from the paintings of Jason Twiggy Lott, specifically his work “Equation.”The painting can be found on his website: jasontwiggylott.com
