Expectations
for live instruments with fixed audio (2020)
"Expectations" was composed in 2020 for mise-en ensemble. The form of the piece is based on a rondo with a skipped refrain (A B A C B A/B), where the last section combines the material of the refrain (A) with the first episode (B). The chosen form reflects best the idea of the piece, tracing the nature of expectations, planted from a seed of hope. What do expectations do? They grow. They grow and depart greatly from innocent hope to a destructive and uncontrolled form, expressed in this piece in alternating refrain and episodes, constantly growing as waves.

The fixed audio in this piece is optional (the piece can be performed with fixed audio or without). It is focusing on pitches from harmonic series utilized in the piece, projecting the sound image of expectations, constantly growing from a thin air.
