AFTERMATH
​electric guitar & piano, 4 hands

Aftermath was composed in 2021, commissioned by Sarah Gibson & Thomas Kotcheff of the HOCKET piano duo for their Composer/Performer Initiative, and first performed in October of 2021 at Boston Court Pasadena.  While the pandemic was, very much, still underway in 2021, 2020 had been such a shock, that in beginning this work the following year, I simply couldn’t think of any other title for a new piece other than Aftermath.  And though still shocked, as we all were, by the events of 2020, I found some hopeful feelings to convey, that in spite of all of our challenges, there is an optimistic outlook that I wished to express in this music.
