Program Note

Inspirations for EROSION (2016) came when I was pondering near the seashore at the Sunken Meadow State Park in New York, watching the waves crashing in and retreating on the coast. EROSION features a series of repetitive motifs imitating the waves, gradually inhaling other musical elements in the piece.
