BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT
(2020)
for 2 pianos, 4-hands | 9 minutes
 
"This piece was born in the weeks following the wide-reaching shutdowns in Montréal in mid-March caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As I grappled with the continually changing reality of cancelled concerts, uncertain future, and the wider public health crisis, I needed an outlet for the circling anxiety which was building up within me. I needed a creative focus which would become 'Breathe In, Breathe Out'.
 
In two main sections, the thematic material swirls, and overlaps between the pianos while travelling great distances, but ending up back where it started. This mirrors the trip of anxiety which any day in the last two months could contain."
