program note: 

​

This piece is based on a text written during a moment of panic, anxiety, and self-doubt. It reflects a sense of buzzing, hissing, noise - all within one's mind - a sense of unending disquiet.

"I need silence but all I have is noise and buzzing and hissing and yelling and screaming and this inner voice telling me I'm not enough I'm not doing enough."
