This piece was commissioned by Joe Smith and the Colorado Brass Quintet for their performance at the 2025 NABBA Championships and written in the fall of 2024. I had recently been on a trip to New Zealand with my wife, and while I live a rather charmed life that involves frequent travel to various interesting locations this was a life-changing experience and it became the inspiration for this piece.

Commissioned by Ridge View High School in South Carolina, this was a unique opportunity to use some of my musical interests and experiences (extended large ensemble music, Afro-diasporic grooves) and put them all together in a way that let two very different musical ensembles play together and learn about each other.
