I am better now, out of my head

2025

 open instrumentation (1+ players)

written for Hannah Elizabeth Tobias & Rose Hegele

With most of my compositions, I like to make it a true collaboration between me and the performers. In this case, the performers have agency regarding the text, the titles, the order of movements, and the pairings between the text and the scores. I am better now, out of my head acts as a blueprint for the performers to take creative liberties, make conscious decisions, and truly make it their own. Every iteration of this piece will have vastly different content and material; in each performance, it will be a unique collaboration between the performers and myself.
