Iep (2016)

The most wild and abstract re-imagining of We Are Family by Chic. Heidi Vierthaler threw me a curve ball by proposing we should incorporate that song into this piece. While at the time around my house a lot of construction was going on. The sounds of hammering and pounding construction workers can be heard throughout the piece while still maintaining an organic center point. Eventually ending with Donielle singing some phrases from the original song. Everyone can see we're together. With seeds falling from the tree and the music hammering and scratching away, it's all about counterpoint in "Iep".
