Imagery is central to my writing process. Just thinking about a certain place can push the music I’m writing in one direction or another. While out for a run at the beginning stages of writing this piece, I found myself wondering what I might be seeing if I were in Texas rather than Minnesota. My mind instantly went to a sea of bluebonnets, which I associate with the timbre of low reeds, juxtaposed with the repetitive pulse of my shoes hitting the asphalt. I then made the decision to enhance this somewhat minimalist “running” music with a digitally modeled analog synthesizer—in this case, the ARP 2600. But I knew something was still missing. Adding processed tenor saxophone to the “bluebonnet” music was the last piece to the puzzle. Many thanks to my longtime friend and collaborator Joel Vanderheyden for the beautiful playing!
