Program Note:

Inspired by a trip to Abiquiú, home to Georgia O'Keefe's famed studio and the high desert landscape that inspired many of her New Mexican works, Pedernal meditates on the vast stillness that radiates across the basin; etching with its long, sweeping tones the skyline of O'Keefe's legendary painting of the same name.

Premiered by Asher Dobrin (solo double bass) at the TANK Center for the Sonic Arts in Rangely, CO on May 17, 2025.
