The title of Filler' Up has many personal connotations for me. From a compositional perspective, the term filler describes my usage of a short chordal and rhythmic section that goes in between several independent musical vignettes.
I wanted these vignettes and the filler to express feelings of happiness, contentment and optimism. We live in times when it is so easy to be cynical and negative about the state of our lives. This piece expresses my willingness not to let myself get drawn into the vacuum of the madness around me.
Things that bring me joy and delight: laughing & crying at the same time, friends & family, physical & mental adventure, and travelling especially by car where no matter how far you go, eventually you must stop and Filler' Up;-)
