Is This/This Is It is a tone piece dealing with feelings of malaise and dissatisfaction while dealing with grief and mortality. The perspective of the piece repeatedly looks out to ask “is this it?” while attempting to shock itself into new appreciation by answering resolutely “this is it”.
Is This/This Is It was awarded a 2nd place prize in Liminal Space Ensemble’s 2022 Call for Scores and will be premiered during their 22-23 season.
