- Program Notes
- One of the several unique things about Gainesville, Florida, where I relocated for my doctorate, are what's known as the Bat Houses. These structures on the outskirts of campus hold several bats, whom emerge out of the houses during a 15-20 minute period after sunset. Due to the constant nature of the bats emerging from the houses, it has become somewhat of a tourist attraction and is something that nearly every local will see during their time in Gainesville. This piece is loosely inspired by the daily flights of these bats, with chilling multiphonics to add a mysterious texture, as well as playful motivic fragments and sweeping technical passages representing the bat taking flight.
