about

Mvmt VII is named for the second draft of DeFeo's painting. It begins with a motif that occurs in all three movements; a rhythmic tritone-based figure that conjures DeFeo hacking away at her painting, sculpting sharp ridges out of the layered paint.

lyrics

a curveball is a trick
hard to hit

traveling in a straight line
a sudden drop
a curveball

I throw until I reach the point
on my own slow curve

points that point
to a stage of growth
what is life without a point?
even a curve, it has a point

I have been shaped by that point
almost as much as I have been cast by the drop
what could I have done?
the build up took too long
to stop the drop

could I have prevented the drop
could I time it right for a change
could I bring it back to the middle
could I time it so to succeed
could I time it right to make contact
though my timing never relieves… me
