Program Notes

One cold, rainy night in late November I was leaving a college party, feeling quite dizzy. My mind was filled with random noises. From coins dropping to the rambunctious beer-pong there were numerous resonances that dominated my attention. Even sounds not present at the time such as airplanes taking off or seagulls singing by the ocean near my hometown. The world remained silent except the rain juxtaposition with all these internal sounds, which merged together becoming this singular collage of noise. Hence the name “Rainpong,” it explores the juxtaposition of full textual dropping sounds to display a dream-like scene.
