Note

Live Salmon is an exploration of different colours and textures that weave in and out of each other, held together by a simple melody that is constantly being squeezed, stretched, and permutated. The piece evokes the imagery of ocean currents and various waterways that meander and wash through each other, and of the salmon that bravely swim upstream against these currents to spawn.
