Description
Wind Chimes around the world come in many sizes, materials and scales, and Alejandro Gonzalez wanted to bring that sense of uniqueness to this piece. One day during a thunderstorm, the wind chimes outside my studio window were ringing the same four notes over and over. Alejandro decided to play along with the wind chimes on his piano and started to feel a connection to something greater than himself. Using pentatonic scales and a very simple two-chord harmonic progression, this piece aims to transport players and listeners to a meditative state of consciousness. Increasing layers of rhythmic density propel it forward, and it subsides in a lone, simple statement of the primary motif to conclude the journey.
