Program notes:
I love walking when I am working on a new piece of music! It is a source of inspiration, musical ideas, problem solving, and direction. The surrounding environment and events make you feel various emotions through a sense of wonder and can tell a story. So it was a natural fit when Amadeus Choir of Greater Toronto asked me to compose the music and sound design for the Songwalks Podcast which is based on the idea of going for walks and listening to music and poetry.
Each episode is a variation on the same musical theme.
