I originally planned to write for 3 tubas, but as I know more people from music school, I decide to change it to 2 tubas (John Reyna the tuba student, John Manning the tuba professor) 1 prepared piano and mezzo soprano (Ghadeer Abaido and Kelly Hill, they are friend) These 3 types of instruments seem separate, but I use a lot of techniques that is very “echoing” to make them into a whole. Imagine if you are sitting on the floor of a deep unknown ocean where the historically distanced and unrelated artifacts are presented in front of you because of the unceasing currents, and they are emanating this light sheen. It is so delicate as if it will go away after your next blink, but it will keep weathering and become part of the ocean over a long time. The text is from Kelly Hill’s favorite recitatives in multiple languages, but it’s not related to my sound (music) at all as if it is another entity trying to blend with the other 3 in this abyss."
