Afterlife
This piece was originally written without program notes, because the piece is really ʻabsoluteʼ music, that reveals its own meaning quite clearly. However, since finishing it, Iʼve reflected on the process of writing it, and I have come to realize that all the sonic effects and musical characteristics that make the piece what it is, are thanks to my collaboration with Archer. This has really made the piece what it is, allowing me to write for the Trombone in a very comprehensive way. I dedicate this piece to Archer.
