CHIMERA
for flute/piccolo, alto/tenor saxophones, viola, accordion, harp, piano, percussion
2025
A body of many bodies; a creature which
moans screeches sputters growls squeals howls
struggles to understand itself.
This piece traces the mythic figure of the chimera as a body and a process becoming-with, a site of multiplicity and discovery; a body learning and relearning and unlearning its many selves.
premiere:
june 2025 at the .abeceda contemporary music festival IV in bled, slovenia
