Emptiness

No one here by that name exists. Only hints.
Nothing here belongs to us.
We just borrow stars.

Our self, a dream, a burning cloud. Illusions on the wall

One breaking mind Driving one fragile body On one dying planet.

Vast distances of nothing. We are cosmically mundane. Looking at infinity.
At Emptiness. Pointlessness. Silence.

Duration: 15 minutes

Instrumentation: 13 solo strings: 7.3.2.1

Commissioned by The Night With…

Premièred by Emily Thorner and United Strings of Europe at The Night WIth… Festival 2023
