Sub-silence II
baritone saxophone & tuba
2022

When the intense sound around us suddenly stops, silence falls. It is only after a while that we begin to hear the quiet sounds of the surroundings, and later, the distant events at the acoustic horizon. This work is a process of listening to what is very far away, as if one were sitting on the roadside after a column of heavy vehicles has just passed, or in a city after the usual noise has suddenly stopped.
