Amuse Oreille
This piece for solo piano serves as an Amuse Bouche, or small taste of the rest of the album to come. It features the undulating, shifting time signatures that you will hear throughout the album.
This piece is meant to capture the feeling when one reminisces, and loses themselves in a memory of the past.
See the solo piano performance below from the album recording sessions at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in NYC.

Past Lives
This piece returns to the piano quintet, and also returns to a compositional style from one of my previous works titled Smashed to Pieces. It is based on a four chord harmony and focuses on melody and counterpoint.
There are many spots on this album that are self referential to previous works, and this piece is meant to relive the experiences of past music in new circumstances.
