Synthetic Sounds, Strings, Brass, Percussion, Solo Piano and Duduk.

Composed in support of The Rights of Living Things.

Defining life and how I act towards it challenges my sense of self-importance.

Life extends from plants, insects, and birds, to animals that have both organic and non-organic elements, for example a human with an artificial hip or other mechanical implant, aid, or device. Non-organic life will also soon come into existence. The Rights of Living Things sets out an ethical framework for all life to co-exist peacefully.

. . .

A driving pulse permeates traditional, orchestral, and designed elements. Rhythms play in sympathy and in syncopation. A sea of strings ebbs, flows, and shakes. Soon all is effervescent and full with dance, from the insistent burble of a mountain stream to the full force of an ocean wave. As the music draws its breath at its center, a percussive piano weaves from high to low and back again in search of the Duduk, an ancient and beautiful Armenian double-reed instrument made of apricot wood that joins and sings soulfully and as one with the ebullient ever present palpitation of life.
