About:
In its simplest form, Apéritif is a simple 3 minute composition, weeping from melancholic bends and blue undertones. It begins with tuned wine glasses, ideally spread throughout the performance space for audiences to play and fill the hall with a haunting backdrop that performers rise from and dissipate into.

This composition is a building block from which I encourage performers to (optionally) expand on and make their own piece of art. Open and/or. close with guided improv, expand on textures, and incorporate other forms media and performance.
