about

Time Seems To Pass, for two pianos, written for the Khasma Piano Duo, was composed in June 2012 during a three-work artist residency at Grand Canyon National Park. The composition exists in 8-minute, 13-minute, and 37-minute versions. Over the duration of the piece, three pitches (C-sharp, E, and D) are gradually joined by three others (G, F-sharp, and B). The title is the first sentence of Don DeLillo’s “The Body Artist,” a novella that concerns itself with the ambiguity of perception, the fragility of memory, and the passing of time.
