“Why Fear?” Is a textural map of the questions humanity asks about the nature of existence and the persistence of matter. Layers of synthesisers, effects and luscious four-part harmony for saxophone quartet come together to form a cosmic soundscape inspired by several famous existential texts. Notice how musical elements clash together in elegant valence, as do the fundamental building blocks of our universe, and consider your part in that perfect chaos.
“When the consciousness we know as life ceases, I know that I shall still be part and parcel of the world. I was a part before the sun rolled into shape and burst forth in the glory of change. I was when the earth was hurled out from its fiery rim. I shall return with the earth to Father Sun and still exist in substance when the sun has lost its fire and disintegrated into infinity to perhaps become a part of the whirling rubble of space. Why fear?”
- Zora Neale Hurston, “Dust Tracks on a Road”
