Written in the summer of 2010, this work for piano was partially an examination of layers and the possible intricacies of interaction that occur whether by timbre, touch, or space. The main interest was a focus on the blending or stitching together of these musical or timbral elements that otherwise remained of starkly contrasting nature, into a seamless arc. The use of the sostenuto pedal and how its use modified or influenced the linearity of the music as well as the structural nature was particularly intriguing.
