LEAD ME ALONE 

Track Seven

I wrote the music for a piece originally called “Lead Me” during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.  Part of a virtual residency with Dance Lab New York NEXUS LAB, a program launched by its Founding Artistic Director Josh Prince, this dance was the first attempt by choreographer Ariel Grossman and I to develop new work exclusively through Zoom.  We were delighted that the collaboration somehow, almost magically worked, and the virtual premiere took place successfully on August 28, 2020.

More recently, my composer friend Ionel Petroi added a (live) piano part on top of the electronic score – another wonderful and unusual collaboration, and our jointly composed Lead Me was premiered (still in a taped version) as part of Ariel Rivka Dance’s fall 2021 gala.

I have renamed my earlier, solo electronic score – represented on this disc – LEAD ME ALONE….
