Contemplations on a Flame

An exercise in transmedialization, this piece is based off a painting recreated by a friend for a lighting project. This piece for string quartet and vibraphone is meant to portray a young girl staring into a small flame; the strings display her dark wanderings while the dissonant and unnerving vibraphone enters as the "voice in her head". These elements come to a peak as the girl slowly goes insane, before the piece fades into nothingness.
