I greatly admire your energy. Your public performance looks not only effortless but also authentic. You display warmth and charisma, putting the audience completely at ease. You have no idea just how much I admire that. I’m sure it’s the result of no little effort and practice, but it also seems to come from deep, because you care. Thanks for bringing the positive.

Playing on this interactive and contemplative nature, the piece was premiered live in San Jose, CA in the summer of 2024, with Dr. Chowning in attendance.
