It is inspired by a series of images of light in a forest: the setting sun through the trees, a campfire of a traveler, the glowing eyes of a predator, the glow of bioluminescent life forms, stars peering through the boreal canopy, first light as night recedes.”I really enjoyed this piece for its complexity of techniques, orchestration, and level of difficulty.”-Percussive Notes
