Variance


My instrumental piece Variance is inspired by the visual stories in Discards and Variances, an exhibit by Cynthia Tom.

It is an homage to the Book of Stories of our ancestors past-present-future. Their unnurtured dreams, the waterways they have traveled, the bodies that have passed onto us, the opportunities, discards and variances of their lives. And their visions and secret dreams. This piece asks us to take a moment to listen to their stories. And see how their stories are echoed in our lives today.
