about

Hollows out of time is a set of eleven miniatures for prepared piano and string quartet. Percussive ostinatos feature throughout, and medium-fast pieces alternate with slow lyrical ballads. I composed the prepared piano part first, and then added layers of strings, which would sometimes echo or magnify the prepared piano, and other times expand and extend into blues, film noir, Renaissance and other stylistic areas. Hollows takes its title from the venue for which it was composed, Lagavulin, meaning “hollow before the mill,” and is at the same time a nod to my teacher Roger Reynolds, whose haunting string orchestra piece “Whispers out of time” won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989. Hollows was commissioned by Bruce and Jocelyn Wolfe, whose support and friendship is an ongoing inspiration.
