about
While the title The Starts and Stops might sound like a summary of pandemic times — cautiously creeping towards some semblance of normalcy, only to have that progress grind to a halt — Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi composed this work for piccolo and electronics well before Covid-19 entered public awareness. Koochakzadeh-Yazdi says of this work: “We are humans capable of constructing our own mindsets and thoughts. In our everyday lives we face concepts that we do not necessarily resonate with; it is in times like that, that we can take those ideas and shape them in a way that would fit our own psyche. The starts and stops deforms the foreseen sonic world of the piccolo and creates one of its own.”
