Program Notes
“Beloved, I urge you ... to abstain from the passions of the flesh,
which wage war against your soul.” (1 Peter 2:11)
War Against the Soul is one of the first of many pieces that tries to capture architectural or sculptural constructs in music. In this work, I chose to deconstruct the infamous crucifix that Christ was nailed to, then reconstruct it with notes, as if they were pixels on a computer. This form of musical expression allows me to inject real and meaningful symbols into the music that I create.
