program notes (written by Tanner Harrod)

inside voices highlights a person’s anxiety and inner thoughts. The piece begins in a quiet and isolated setting, with our main character left with nothing but their own thoughts. As the music progresses, anxiety shifts into full panic and the performer begins to play more frantic and agitated. While not directly related, the piece was inspired by the isolation many of us have felt during quarantine in the COVID-19 pandemic.
