Program Note
A piece inspired by time spent with a guitar’s weight on your lap being the only thing keeping your feet grounded to your bedroom carpet. A riff circling your bed - the music that won’t leave your room, that won’t leave your head. The sheer optimism you must inhibit being a guitarist: what guitarist hasn’t had to settle for a drum track and a dream when they’re eleven and can’t find anyone to start a band and make it big with?
