about

Passionate Isolation, is a suite of 3-movements: i. Ritual (which uses a “prepared” piano), ii. Misgivings, and iii. March. The title comes from the collection No More Secondhand God by R. Buckminster Fuller. The following lines begin the book:
Late tonight 
(April 9, 1940) 
I am just sitting here 
for one of the many reasons that 
people find themselves passionately isolated. (The cause is rarely noble.)
Written in solitude during a period of international turmoil at the beginning of World War II, Fuller's text attracted me as a mirror of our own troubled times. To the many isolated individuals in our world, it can appear that we are locked, as human beings, into the fate of a continuous cycle of abuse of power leading to armed conflict. The movements of this piece are: the Ritual of impotent international deliberations, the Misgivings of the world's population in the face of impending war, and the inevitable and deliberate March of the military machine.
