Duration: 5’

Premiered 23 November 2017 at Trinity St. Paul’s United Church, Toronto, ON

The gestures, rhythms, and textures of this piece were inspired by recordings of the tide of Lake Ontario coming into shore along Hamilton Beach in late August 2017. The work seeks to convey the repetitious and static appearance of the tide that masks the continuous unfolding of small changes. Within this piece, I imagine that studying these small changes would allow a traveller to learn something about the larger body of water, and, therefore, the journey required to cross.
