Memory as a Rock Out of Reach

1 upcoming performance in New York

Now at Roulette, *Memory as a Rock Out of Reach* appears in a classical program with EMA and Tabitha Nikolai. The work takes Ema Saikō—late-Edo poet and monochrome ink painter—as a point of reference, treating spare gesture and self-address as compositional material rather than ornament. Ink-wash restraint becomes a model for sound: limited means, deliberate pacing, and a refusal of easy narrative closure. In New York’s ongoing conversation between contemporary composition and historical art practices, it reads as a precise, unsentimental study of memory’s distance.
