Programme Notes
How much of a good thing is too much? This piece pushes the limits of the piano, reimagining it not just as a melodic and percussive instrument, but as a fully textured one. Through the technique of multi-tracking, I transformed the piano into a dense, layered wall of sound that intends to envelop the listener in a relentless, immersive experience. The result is an exploration of excess—how repeated patterns and overlapping timbres can build a vast, almost overwhelming sonic landscape. It’s about finding beauty in the accumulation, and asking: when does too much become just enough?
