meditation no. 1


written for Krista Kopper

I was inspired to write this piece based off my experiences with different meditation and mental relaxation techniques. Specifically, I wanted to create an atmosphere similar to sound baths, where one can be immersed in sound and let it wash over them. To evoke this, I used a simple, contoured melody that changes harmonies quite often, along with technical augmentation in the form of amplification and artificial reverb. The end result is a sonic landscape that continually shifts and transforms as time goes on.
