Espacio (Space) is a piece that I wrote in the summer of 2013. With the help of Matthew Gantt and Melissa Danas, putting this composition together has been a great experience as we all came up with ideas while in rehearsals. I wanted this piece to embody the feeling of space, and the loneliness that comes with living in a vast universe. Some of the samples of Espacio are the sounds of electromagnetic waves from some of the planets that have been recorded by NASA. Live recording on October 31st, 2013 at the International Electroacoustic Music Festival in Brooklyn College, New York. Performed by Matthew Gantt and Melissa Danas.
