Distractions

Year: 2026 For: Piano, String Quartet, Double Bass & Electronics Duration: 5:31

Distractions explores the tension between inner authenticity and external pressures in a fast-paced, demanding world. Surrounded by distractions, obligations, social influences, and the constant complexity of modern life, we are often pulled away from our true selves. Against this noise, the piece seeks a sense of release — a return to an internal space of thoughts, emotions, and reflection. It emphasizes the importance of staying connected to our raw, genuine self, as well as to a fragile, childlike innocence that persists beneath the surface. A space where the listener can step away from the clamor and reconnect with their own emotional truth.
