Focus 

This piece focuses on the experience of being totally absorbed in an activity, where one is “in the zone” and completely focused on the work at hand. 

Focus captures this sense through the music occurring in multiple time divisions at the same time, much the way the mind can assemble and multitask complex tasks. 

Both the opening piano figure in 3 and the accompanying viola figure in 4 popped into my head separately, and I thought I would try to combine the 2 parts together. The cycles of 3 and 4 line up every 18 beats to create a seamless combination of these 2 patterns.

Look at the conducting video and then the score below to see how the multiple meters fit together.

Get the Album first

The first 3 tracks on the new album will be released on 3.20.2020, but the rest of the album will not be available until this summer on the streaming platforms and stores. These platforms favor singles over albums for playlist placement.

So I will be sharing the entire album for email subscribers in a 7 day album experience. (Don't worry, it's just about building a community, not about spamming you with emails!).

On album release day, you will receive 1 email a day for 7 days that leads you to a behind the scenes look that details what each piece means, how it was written, and how it was recorded. You can download the high res audio (available nowhere else), stream the music, look at the scores, and learn how it was recorded.

Thank you for joining me on this musical journey! Check your email inbox (and Junk Mail!) for the Welcome email.
