Common Ash – Fraxinus excelsior
For this piece the movement and sound of trees in general was an inspiration. As I compiled the sounds and harmony for the piece, I observed the trees moving outside my window and was inspired by the ebb and flow of their movements and how the sounds of the foliage integrated with the harmonies in the piece I was playing around with on my computer. The resulting composition will hopefully result in a similar awareness in the listener, allowing the whispers of the trees and other pieces of music to be heard.
