As is my habit with these pieces, the two parts are woven together into an aural landscape of shifting rhythms and textures based upon the sonic material of the acoustic instrument. The electronic part of Cypress is comprised entirely of acoustic saxophone sounds, some of which are easily identifiable, and others of which have been processed into completely different forms using a variety of software tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cypress tree is considered a symbol of both mourning and immortality in many cultures and makes appearances in legends from Greek mythology to Christianity. It has often been planted to mark graveyards, with the idea that its straight, tall stature helps guide departed souls towards heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is also part of my saxophone quartet \u003cem\u003eTides\u003c\/em\u003e.
