Program Notes:
Imprints was written in the summer of 2006 at the Aspen Music Festival and School. The piece incorporates some inside-the-piano techniques, which, while composing in a fly-infested room, reminded me a lot of squishing those bugs, and thereby resulting in the name of the piece. The piece begins with a syncopated rhythmic pattern that becomes the entire basis of the first section. The piece continues with a more subdued and harmonic middle section, and concludes with both sections combining at the end.
