PROGRAM NOTE
Particle Wave is an invocation celebrating light and the particle-wave duality that characterizes photons. It was written during a particularly dark time of isolation in the pandemic, overdue social unrest related to the Black Lives Matter movement, the rise of fascism around the world, and the unprecedented wildfires that destroyed nearby communities and made the air unsafe to breathe for weeks here in Portland, OR. A lot depends on what you observe when and how, and there is always a flipside.
