title: "Vacillating Compass of Indigo/Teal"
description: "To vacillate is to waver in mind or action, or be irresolute between
multiple opinions or things. While writing the piece over several months,
I often found myself bouncing between multiple ideas and concepts. Despite
seemingly vague relationships at times, these musical ideas nevertheless
came from the same creative headspace, and reflect where I was at in life
and in music. Ultimately, the strongest connective tissue that provided a
musical compass for the work, unifying melodies, harmonies, and timbres,
are the colors indigo and teal.
Vacillating Compass of Indigo/Teal was commissioned by the
University of Oklahoma Percussion Studio."
