Bleeding Heart Transformation
(2022)

for guitar
45’

A set of variations, heard in two directions. The guitarist plays through cycles of fragmentary melodies and harmonies as a form of meditation. After finally reaching the last fragment, the music returns to the beginning, this time taking a different path back to the end. The same notes are then transformed into different music, giving two views of a musical crystal.
