Serpents of the Red Roof Valley
Chamber · Saxophone, Piano, Percussion | 2025
While composing the piece, I had the image of a small town with cottages built with red tiled roofs in my mind’s eye. There was a viaduct bridge cutting through the town, on which steam trains traveled, but everything was inhabited and run by some kind of serpents. The piece is an exploration of the many odd scenes I imagined involving those snake-like creatures, though the imagery I experienced for this was rather abstract and strange, so there is no concise story behind the piece.
