This work begand as a little concertante work for piano and mixed ensemble of 9. It expresses the social conditions of separation and distancing during the COVID 19 pandemic through music making with the tension and effort

in bridging the instrumental registral and temporal distances, trying to make meaning in challenging performance situations both as ensemble and as individuals.

Each part is trying to form melodies through sounds fragmented in time and register, while relating to others in the ensemble building a collective resonance. Piano here is at once the foreground with prominent relentless materials, as well as the background providing sustained resonances through which other instruments reach out to one another.

In the orchestral version, the original concertante piano part has been recomposed and integrated into the various orchestral parts, and the piano is no longer a solo part, instead, becoming part of the keyboard percussion ensemble within the orchestra.

Like inthe former work, it expresses the social conditions of separation and distancing during the COVID 19 pandemic, each instrumental part is trying to form melodies, again and again, with its own sounds fragmented in time, register, and colour, while relating to others in the orchestra, building a collective resonance to move the music forward.
