Fluid Dynamics (2018)

I. unsteady flow

II. silent mobility

iii. shifting simmer

 

When I was studying with Joel Harder at Binghamton, I knew that I wanted to write a piece for both of us, especially since I had never written for two pianos before. 

​

This piece was the response to that, taking a scientific concept of fluid dynamics and illustrating it through music, thus leading to the various characters of the movements. Pointillism in the first, Impressionistic textures in the second, and a rhythmically driven third that *may* have some influence from my love for Jason Robert Brown's music. It also was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Joel, who many times in my lessons would tell me to play as if "keeping it on the simmer".

​

fluid dynamics was premiered on March 21, 2018 at Binghamton University, with Joel Harder and I at the keyboards.
