The Sycamore Tree (score)

for Javanese gamelan and percussion. The structure of The Sycamore Tree is based on Fibonacci time units delineated by the percussion group. The “interpolations” become more dominant over time, giving the piece its energy. The title may cause some confusion, as it refers not to a pastoral image of a tree in a field but to dishwashing at The Sycamore Tree Restaurant, where the composer once worked.
