Program Note:

Square Movement was a result of a significant change in my work routine, which had gone from having an expanse of time in front of me working on a piece, enough time to walk into walls, stare into space, and toy around with a compositional idea, to these very short, high-intensity bursts of writing. The piece is made up of small blocks of disjointed musical material, composed weeks apart during a stolen hour here and there. Parts in the piece square up to each other rather than move seamlessly through time.
