My composition explores the idea of surreal organisms inhabiting various bodies, sometimes bursting out. Serpents, branches, and other creatures tear out of chords, chorales, and melodies. The music is loosely inspired by the movies Alien (1979) and Annihilation (2018), and the wisdom of the great composer György Ligeti. He encouraged his students to throw wrenches in their compositional systems.
