Program Information (Summary)
Dedicated to Vex Duo and its commissioning consortium, the piece takes instantaneous travel as an image for abrupt musical change. Koh relates its restless shifts to the disorientation of daily life in 2021 and the pressure to resume pre-pandemic routines. Small changes in tone color and inflection blur the form, while larger sections and tempos arrive with little warning.
