Written for the Standing Wave Ensemble as part of Compocon 2023, “Trepidation Lake” explores the idea of how fear and anxiety seep into our lives in times of stress and overwhelming pressure. It shows this through disjunct and sporadic entrances to controlled chaotic gestures that appear out of content states.
