It was a DREAM COME TRUE writing for Jennifer Koh - as it would be for any composer/violinist! Art|Nat is a short piece I wrote for solo violin and electronics responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine. Commissioned by Arco Collective and Jennifer Koh, for the “Alone Together” series. Recommended by Ian Chang - who also produced the electronics.

“The thoughts that plague us in times of panic need not be logical,
only potent to evoke strong physical response.
Is this death?
Is this anxiety?
Is it over now?
Am I over now?
Remain calm. Conceptualize order. Then abide by it.”
