MAROON 棕栗色 (2005-6)

Maroon has a close resemblance to red-brown which is associated with the color of Mother Earth. Red-brown is usually obtained from clay and is therefore associated with healing and the power to repel malevolent spirits.
The work was premiered on May 12th, 2006 by Ossia Ensemble of Eastman School of Music at Sage Chapel in Ithaca, NY.
This video is the 2020 performance by Manhattan School of Music's TACTUS Contemporary Ensemble, directed by Margaret Kampmeier.
