Cimmerian Isolation

"A brooding duet for the self, “Cimmerian Isolation” finds meaning in the interplay between the sound of the flute and the performer’s own primal uttering. These two often separate entities interact with and are greatly accentuated by the live electronics. “Cimmerian” in this case references it’s definition as an adjective meaning “very dark or gloomy” and attempts to elicit imagery of a wealthy recluse who lived in cimmerian isolation in a decaying Victorian mansion, left only to themselves and descending into eventual madness."
