Phantom Reach, for violin, piano, multimedia, and dance
Phantom Reach is a seven-movement multimedia composition in collaboration with NobleMotion Dance exploring absence in contemporary life. The metaphor of a body reaching for what is no longer present drives both musical and visual elements. Like phantom sensation, the work blurs presence and absence: sound becomes a carrier for gestures extending toward intangible elsewhere—desired objects, memories, or self-projections.
