Program Notes
"Floral Reef" is inspired by a mix of some of my favourite electronic music artists that I’ve listened to over the years. I’m usually drawn to incorporating more conceptual forms into my music but I chose to have this piece focus in on the music itself as a kind of short song, blending together fragmented loops, ambient drones and chords.
