As Covid quickly enveloped the globe, it brought not only a threat to mankind's physical health, but also, causing so much damage to the mental well-being of so many.
My emotional pain during this time was fed by many sources - the stress of Covid; the worrying about keeping my loved ones safe, while allowing students into my home studio; the stress of "zooming" for countless hours; the impending spectre of financial doom; but most of all, the absolute shock of losing someone very, very dear to me, in a sudden and completely unanticipated way.
The piece, "In My Pain" is my musical reaction to the darkest days in my life.
