Process: Product - A Junior Recital

The title of this piece comes from the idea that this is a process piece that results in some end product eventually. The countless amounts of hours spent arranging different objects in the piano to find the sounds that suited my wants and needs, or the time the performer has spent trying to interpret the piece in their own way is the laborious process that leads to this final product. Process : Product explores the idea of ownership that the composer and the performer have and how they don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
